and fluid volumes, while track 6 details the fluid volumes from track
5 and includes Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio. Track 7 shows
the closure pressure gradient profile, and track 8 represents the brittleness calculated from Poisson's ratio and Young's modulus using the sonic and density data acquired by the LWD tools.
The output data of the petrophysical evaluations from both the
vertical and horizontal wells were used in a proprietary software
package.
Stage And Cluster Design

The proprietary software tool used to select perforation
clusters and fracture stage locations was applied to this horizontal well, and was designed to create a more consistent fracturing

operation by eliminating fracturing of nonproductive rock, providing consistent breakdown and treating pressures, and preventing screen-out or "go-to-flush" early instances, thereby increasing production and reducing fracture-treating costs.
The facies illustrated in track 9 of Figure 5 are based on a ternary plot that displays the worst facies in the top corner, the best
facies in the bottom left corner, and the secondary facies in the bottom right corner. Facies can be customized, depending on the unconventional resource; each corner can contain up to three minerals (e.g., total clay could be a combination of montmorillonite,
illite, and kaolinite). The results of the facies ternary plot are rescaled
automatically from 0 to 100 percent (track 9 in Figure 5.
