hydraulic fracturing

Rig counts are down since 2023, but well productivity is marching forward.

Intelligent Wellhead Systems and ProFrac Services say the new method simplifies and streamlines data transfer during hydraulic fracturing.

A self-updating and customizable data-driven strategy for real-time monitoring and management of screenout, integrated with proppant filling index and safest fracturing pump rate, is proposed to improve operational safety and efficiency at field scale.

This study describes a technique combining borehole acoustic reflection imaging with production logging in a horizontal well experiencing high water cut with the aim of enabling a mitigation plan.

The authors investigate the utility of applying unconventional technology to low- or variably producing carbonate reservoirs to increase estimated ultimate recovery and decrease development-scale variability.

Hunt Energy Network invested $10 million into Quidnet to help scale up the company’s concept for geopressured energy storage to the tune of 300 MW.

This paper describes a hydraulic fracturing pilot project using a technique that generates higher fracture conductivity to reduce the drawdown during production and improve connection through laminations.

This paper presents a case study of a North African oil field producing from two Ordovician sands with differing permeabilities where significant benefit was achieved by fracture stimulating one or both intervals in two wells.

The authors of this paper describe a project in which far-field diverters were pumped to mitigate wellbore sanding and production loss in existing parent wells.

The Midland-based service company operates a fleet that is now 65% either dual-fuel or electric-powered.
