Faults and fractures in the Niobrara Formation of Wattenberg field, Colorado
… details of the fault regime in a portion of the Wattenberg Field, Colorado. For the purposes of this study, seismic-scale faults are interpreted as horizons with displacements. Seismic-scale fractures are interpreted as linear amplitude discontinuities. Borehole image log scale faults show …

Challenges of geophysical processes and interpretation of an unconventional play: a case study from Wattenberg field, Denver-Julesburg Basin, Colorado, The
… assess and diagnose the success of a developing field. The Postle project provided various datasets to investigate, including seismic, borehole logs, distributed fiber optic sensing data, microseismic, and production. Relevant research findings were compared and if applicable were linked to other …

3D modeling and characterization of hydraulic fracture efficiency integrated with 4D/9C time-lapse seismic interpretations in the Niobrara Formation, Wattenberg field, Denver Basin
… predictive model is generated and calibrated to field diagnostic measurements (DFIT) and observations (microseismic and 4D/9C multicomponent time-lapse seismic). By incorporating the geological heterogeneity into the 3D hydraulic fracture simulation, a more representative response is generated …

Fluid flow and deformation history of the Denver basin, CO region: fluid inclusions, U-Pb geochronology and isotope geochemistry of calcite-filled fracture cements in the Niobrara Formation
… were obtained from the Albert Kurtz well in the Wattenberg field, CO. Results obtained from several fracture fill types (e.g., crack-seal-slip, crack-seal and crack fill cements, tectonic stylolite-associated, joints) are consistent with multiple fluid flow events. Carbon and oxygen isotopic data …

Frac flowback water blending and treatment requirements based on spatial and temporal water quality analysis
… in seven Integrated Development Plans in the Wattenberg Field were analyzed for temporal and spatial levels of total dissolved solids (TDS), sodium, chloride, calcium, and iron. Concentration of total dissolved solids, sodium, chloride and calcium were modeled to accommodate the different …

Post-treatment horizontal hydraulic fracture modeling with integrated chemical tracer analysis, a case study
… water, sanitary systems, ground water, and oil field water flooding, resulted in the development of chemical tracer technologies. While the utilization of tracer technologies to track water during reservoir development is mature, the use of chemical tracers in unconventional hydraulic fracturing …

Depositional system and source rock potential of the Sharon Springs Formation in Colorado
… on oil collected form the Florence-Cañon City Field suggest that the Sharon Springs has contributed to production from fractured members of the Pierre Shale up section. Thermal maturity indicators in biomarkers indicate that the oil produced from the Pierre is slightly more mature than source …

Study of the organic content and mineralogy effects on the acoustic properties of the Niobrara Formation, Denver Basin
Wattenberg Field has been producing hydrocarbons since 1970. Over the past 20 years, evolution of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing allowed for the expansion of unconventional gas and oil production from Niobrara chalk and marl intervals across the Greater Wattenberg Area (GWA). The …
