Abstract:
Diagnostic or assisting lateral wellbores can have a significant benefit for injecting and distributing treatment fluids and other materials within complex fracture networks that surpass conventional injection at the primary lateral wellbore perforations for acquiring empirical knowledge about the numerous processes that influence shale reservoir production which occur after primary shale reservoir stimulation. Injection of diagnostic treatment fluids or treating chemicals for understanding production optimization, such as water-block removal, fines migration removal, and treating chemicals for prevention of scale and paraffin deposition, can be injected along the diagnostic lateral wellbore or frac interval lateral wellbores to give broader and/or deeper distribution into the fracture network than by using mono-bore-centric diagnostic injection techniques. Diagnostic lateral treatment techniques can also improve fluid or chemical distribution, such as the use of gas injection to help energize fluid flow to the primary lateral during production optimization treatments, including reverse diversion methodology.

Claim (Index 23):
A method of acquiring data for improving a flow of hydrocarbons from at least one primary lateral wellbore in a subsurface shale volume characterized by having at least one assisting lateral wellbore comprising a diagnostic lateral wellbore substantially adjacent to the primary lateral wellbore that has been previously stimulated and where the at least one primary lateral wellbore has a lateral length and comprises at least one fracture network along the lateral length, where the method comprises:\n a sub-method consisting of introducing at least one diagnostic agent comprising a tracer into the at least one primary lateral wellbore through the fracture network and the at least one assisting lateral wellbore, where the tracer is selected from the group consisting of organic and inorganic tracers, where the tracer is present in a fluid and where the tracer is present in the fluid in an amount ranging from about 0.001 to about 50,000 ppm where the method of further comprises at least one fracture interval injection lateral wellbore extending from the at least one assisting lateral wellbore in the direction of the at least one lateral wellbore, where the at least one fracture interval injection lateral wellbore is in fluid communication with the fracture network.
