hydraulic fracturing

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.

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.

Operators from across the region met in Muscat to share how lessons from pilot programs are shaping cost, scale, and technology priorities across the region.

The global oilfield service company is working with Ormat Technologies to boost its integrated geothermal business.

The SPE International Hydraulic Fracturing Technology Conference and Exhibition opens with calls to adapt technology while addressing regional realities.

The collaboration has announced Closed Loop Fracturing, which combines real-time subsurface data with automated surface control.

Researchers with the National Energy Technology Laboratory showed that naturally occurring signals in underground fluids can serve as effective indicators of flow patterns between existing wellbores. Understanding these patterns can lead to increased efficiency and safety.

This paper presents the development of a robust, physics-based, and data-driven workflow for modeling mud loss in fractured formations and predicting terminal mud loss volume and time, as well as equivalent hydraulic fracture aperture.

The upstream industry has viewed real-time completions as a long-term goal, but the technology is already in use.

This study aims to thoroughly assess the influence of various completions, fracturing stimulation, and intrinsic reservoir properties affecting the productivity of 10 major unconventional plays while uncovering insights and trends unique to each play.
