Complex Hydraulic Fracture Behavior in Horizontal Wells, South Arne Feild, Danish North Sea
The paper presents a case study of hydraulic fracturing in the South Arne Field, Danish North Sea, where initial treatments failed due to excessive fracture complexity and fluid loss. By analyzing rock mechanics and pressure behavior, the team refined initiation methods—using high-viscosity gel with 100-mesh sand, higher sand concentrations, and avoiding mini-fracs in low-porosity zones. These changes enabled over 60 successful treatments with consistent proppant placement and reliable tip screen-outs
Case Study of Hydraulic Fracture Completions in Horizontal Wells, South Arne Field Danish North Sea
This paper presents a case history of hydraulic-fracture completions in the South Arne Field, where early treatments screened out due to excessive fracture complexity and fluid leakoff. An integrated geomechanical and fracture-modeling study led to an optimized design that successfully placed target proppant volumes and achieved aggressive top screen-outs in over 60 treatments. The paper outlines the initial challenges, analytical approach, and mitigation strategies that improved completion reliability.
