Patent ID: 11441405

Abstract:
System and methods of controlling diversion for stimulation treatments in real time are provided. Input parameters are determined for a stimulation treatment being performed along a wellbore within a subsurface formation. The input parameters include selected treatment design parameters and formation parameters. A step-down analysis is performed to identify friction components of a total fracture entry friction affecting near-wellbore pressure loss during the stimulation treatment. Efficiency parameters are determined for a diversion phase of the stimulation treatment to be performed along a portion of the wellbore, based on the input parameters and the friction components. An amount of diverter to be injected during the diversion phase of the stimulation treatment is calculated based at least partly on the efficiency parameters. The diversion phase of the stimulation treatment is performed by injecting the calculated amount of diverter into the subsurface formation via perforations along the portion of the wellbore.
