hydraulic fracturing

The authors of this paper write that computationally coupled models enable swift, accurate, and engineered decision-making for optimal asset development.

Two firms are using hydraulic fracturing to create high-pressure water reservoirs that can be turned on and off to meet electricity demand.

The natural fractures discovered on Mars during rover missions might be so important that they are worth bringing back to Earth.

New studies are a reminder that the effort to identify, classify, and nullify frac hits remains paramount to the future of the unconventionals business.

This paper describes efforts at the Hydraulic Fracturing Test Site 2 to collect a research data set to improve understating of spatial and temporal hydraulic fracture dimensions, proppant distribution, and reservoir depletion.

This paper presents an integrated system for fracturing optimization using real-time and historical data along with organizational knowledge and the challenges and key considerations of implementing such a system.

This paper describes the analysis of actual performance data for acid fracturing in a tight carbonate formation to investigate the ineffectiveness of the process.

The authors describe a casing-leak-repair alternative to allow continued hydraulic fracturing of an unconventional formation.

In this paper, a comparison is presented of the range of production outcomes for Clair Phase 1 and Clair Ridge, including the potential downsides of relying on natural fractures.
