Concurrent Fluid Injection and Hydrocarbon Production from a Hydraulically Fractured Horizontal Well

摘要

A method for concurrent fluid injection and production of a reservoir fluid from a hydraulically fractured horizontal well comprising the steps of completing a well in a formation to create the hydraulically fractured horizontal well; designating an alpha group; designating a beta group, such that each segment is in either the alpha group or the beta group, wherein the number and location of the segments in each of the alpha group and the beta group are based on the production configuration; initiating a first mode of operation; operating the hydraulically fractured horizontal well in the first mode of operation for a first mode run time; stopping the first mode of operation; initiating the second mode of operation; operating the hydraulically fractured horizontal well in the second mode of operation for a second mode run time; and cycling between the first mode of operation and the second mode of operation.
