Abstract:
1. A system to determine hydraulic fracture geometry in a reservoir system by combining functions of a first subterranean well and functions of a second subterranean well into a single well, the system comprising: a lower completion comprising a plurality of wellbore sensors positioned within a well casing; a communication conduit defining a lower umbilical, the lower umbilical extending from a position outside the well casing containing the plurality of wellbore sensors, adjacent an operable position of a first connector, to a position adjacent an operable position of a second connector, the plurality of wellbore sensors operably coupled to the second connector; a lateral wellbore positioned to avoid intersection with the lower umbilical, the lateral wellbore oriented at least partially lateral to an orientation of the well casing; an entranceway to the lateral wellbore elevationally positioned at a location above the second connector and below the first connector; and an upper completion configured to be run with a communication conduit defining an upper umbilical, the upper umbilical operably connected to the first connector.
