Make better-informed decisions on future wells
Based on the results obtained in the monitoring phase, Devon Energy
changed the completion design of its subsequent wells to ensure that flowback
operations were completed within the SOE outlined with Schlumberger. This
considerably reduced the amount of solids produced, with only traces of sand
detected at the beginning of flowback in Well 2 and none at the end of the
operation, mitigating the risk of proppant conductivity damage and decreasing
the risk of near-wellbore fracture closure.
