Notional Field Development Final Report - EBN

EBN Notional Field Development Plan
The hazard map in Figure 3-50, Hazard Map was further enhanced using a combination of files to create
a modified grid shown below. The left hand figure sows pink areas which represent the potential “GO”
areas and 650 pad locations were created in these areas as displayed on the right. The 650 pads were
then screened to provide some 323 Green “GO” Pads for further consideration and well planning.

3.5.1.1 Well and Lateral Design Parameters
The well designs were based on the following criteria: Vertical well profiles to approximately 2100m
with a 12°/30m build curve to the landing point at the beginning of the lateral. The laterals were spaced
400m apart and had lengths of 1500m and 2500m. The distance between opposing lateral “Toes” was
set at 200m, opposing “heels” at 300m. The maximum reach distance from the pad to the landing point
was set at 800m. Two scenarios were planned using these lateral lengths as well as a third scenario
utilizing variable lateral lengths between 1500m and 2500m to maximize reservoir contact between the
major faults in the area. Laterals were constrained to a minimum distance of 100m to the faults. The
objective of the first three scenarios was to maximize the lateral reservoir coverage with minimal regard
to well design consistency. A fourth scenario was generated which leveraged the best configuration of
pads resulting in a more consistent well design pattern commonly used in shale play development.
