The Institute of Geophysical Exploration and the Zhongyuan Branch of Sinopec Conduct a “Cloud-Based Exchange and Report”
On January 22, the Fracturing Monitoring Project Team of the Geophysical Exploration Institute of Sichuan Resources Group, stationed at a well on the Tiebei-1 side, was invited by the client to participate in an exceptionally significant video conference. Held in the Collaborative Operations Room of the Puguang Branch of Zhongyuan Oilfield, located at the Sinopec Dazhou Base, the Geophysical Exploration Institute presented to senior leaders from the Zhongyuan Oilfield’s Puyang Headquarters and the Puguang Branch—the client’s relevant units—the results of the first three segments of wide-area electromagnetic monitoring conducted at the well on the Tiebei-1 side. This was not merely a routine work report; rather, it represented an important practice in information sharing and collaborative decision-making, playing a crucial role in coordinating resources, optimizing strategies, and promoting the efficient development of the entire oilfield.
During the video conference, the Geophysical Exploration Institute provided a detailed report on monitoring results, including the extent—length, width, and area—of fracturing fluid propagation, repeated stimulation efforts, and fracture orientation characteristics. In response to an anomaly identified during monitoring of Sections 1–3 on the Tiebei No. 1 side—that the areas of repeated stimulation on the eastern side consistently exceeded those on the western side—the Geophysical Exploration Institute conducted an in-depth analysis and summary, drawing on geological data on natural fractures. From data interpretation and geological analysis to technical discussions and strategic planning, the Geophysical Exploration Institute has injected strong synergy into the subsequent fracturing, production, and development of a shale gas well on the Tiebei No. 1 side, ensuring that every decision is scientifically sound and precise, and every operational step is efficient and well-organized. This approach has earned high recognition from the client.
After the report was presented, the client raised higher requirements, asking the geophysical exploration institute to further closely integrate with the fracturing operation curves, statistically analyze the types of fracturing fluids injected when repeated fracturing treatments occur, and conduct comprehensive analyses combining geological data and pressure-drop data. The institute is also requested to put forward practical and feasible operational recommendations to provide technical support for subsequent stage fracturing operations and parameter optimization.
This exchange has provided the Geophysical Exploration Institute with a clear direction for future progress and further enhanced the quality of fracture monitoring services. Moving forward, the Institute will continue to tackle the pain points and challenges in monitoring technology, constantly breaking through technical bottlenecks, and laying a solid foundation and adding momentum to the vigorous development of the oil and gas industry.
