Cover Story: This study investigates the application of fiber optic technology to optimize completion design in a hydraulic fracture stimulation for the Marcellus Shale Reservoir. With a focus on improving cluster efficiencies and overcoming interstage communication challenges, the research utilizes real-time data from distributed acoustic (DAS), temperature (DTS), and strain (DSS) measurements. Recommendations include employing a geomechanical completion design, avoiding non-uniform, high-natural-fracture zones during hydraulic fracture stimulations, implementing a short stage length, and using more 100 mesh sand. The effective application of fiber optic technology, providing real-time DAS, DTS, and slow strain data, proves instrumental in addressing interstage communication challenges, contributing to improved reservoir performances and cost-effective operations in hydraulic fracture stimulations. View this paper
