The purpose of hydraulic fracture modeling is to improve engineering decision-making. Success requires practical knowledge, engagement with real data, theoretical understanding, and critical thinking. The payoff is tremendous. -
The authors of this paper write that computationally coupled models enable swift, accurate, and engineered decision-making for optimal asset development.

SponsoredWhat are we, in the upstream oilfield service companies, doing about it? The Middle East upstream oil and gas industry is shifting its focus to unconventional and tight-gas resource development.
-
The oil and gas industry-backed geothermal firm plans to drill up to 29 wells in southwestern Utah that will deliver electricity to the state's grid by 2026.
-
The natural fractures discovered on Mars during rover missions might be so important that they are worth bringing back to Earth.
-
SponsoredThe data that comes with mapping flow behavior at the stage level of unconventional wells was once accessible only through the installation of costly and intrusive diagnostic methodologies like fiber optic or running production logging. New-generation FloTrac ultrahigh-resolution nanoparticle tracer technology with subatomic spectroscopic measurement techniques now de…

Fervo Energy’s bet that fracturing methods can be used for geothermal power is looking like a winner.
-
North Dakota's EERC argues that the suboptimal frac jobs of yesterday explain why fracture interactions boost production in the tight-oil play.
-
This paper proposes a multidomain approach to tackle petrophysical and geomechanical aspects of a fracture system governing the carbonate layer of an exploration well in Kuwait to assess producibility and qualification for stimulation.
