fracture modeling

The objective of this paper is to apply a developed workflow to determine the propped hydraulic fracture geometry in a horizontal multistage fractured well, incorporating production, pressure, and strain data.

In this third work in a series, the authors conduct transfer-learning validation with a robust real-field data set for hydraulic fracturing design.

The aim of this study is to incorporate detailed geological, petrophysical, and hydraulic fracturing models to better predict and mitigate the effects of interbench interactions.

The authors present an efficient workflow using an embedded discrete fracture model to simulate carbon-dioxide flow by use of conductive faults.

The main goal of this research work was to determine subseismic faults and fracture corridors and their characteristics, including density and orientation, for a Paleocene fractured carbonate reservoir.

In this paper, an energy-based 3D fracture-reconstruction method is proposed to derive the complex fracture network from microseismic data in a shale gas reservoir.

A novel approach uses the heart-shaped signal in low-frequency distributed acoustic sensing measurements to estimate the hydraulic fracture tip distance before the hydraulic fracture intersects the monitor well, offering critical insight into the characterization of hydraulic fracture propagation.

A proposed integrated workflow aims to guide prediction and mitigating solutions to reduce casing-deformation risks and improve stimulation efficiency.

An engineered approach to fracture growth in hydraulic fracturing highlights the successful execution of H2S prevention strategies in North Dakota’s Williston Basin.

The authors of this paper present an advanced dual-porosity, dual-permeability (A-DPDK) work flow that leverages benefits of discrete fracture and DPDK modeling approaches.
