Abstract
When well production is less than expected, often a debate ensues as to the reasons and tends to focus on reservoir quality (Is it the Rock?) or on how the well was stimulated and produced (Is it the Frac?). The geologist, drilling engineer, petrophysicist, and completion engineer often differ in their explanation for the reduced well performance. In other cases, nearby wells may perform differently with little obvious reason for the production differences. This presentation will outline a methodology to identify the likely source of unexpected well performance through a number of case history examples that emphasizes the need for a multi-disciplinary approach to address these complex reservoir challenges.
