hydraulic fracturing

This article presents a new data-driven analysis to locate low-frequency seismic sources, referred to as near-infrasound or infrasound sources. Combining these infrasound signals with microseismicity signals allows for better characterization and monitoring of the stimulated reservoir volume.

The SPE Hydraulic Fracturing Technology Conference and Exhibition is being held 31 January–2 February in The Woodlands, Texas.

The produced water conundrum in the Permian Basin will be solved by a mix of recycling, disposal, and future breakthroughs in technology currently being studied.

This paper presents a numerical simulation work flow, with emphasis on hydraulic fracture simulation, that optimizes well spacing and completion design simultaneously.

The authors discuss the development of a deep-learning model to identify errors in simulation-based performance prediction in unconventional reservoirs.

The authors of this paper compare case studies from the Bakken and the STACK plays to conclude that mineralogy, petrophysics, and reservoir-condition differences between basins cause differences in the effect of fracture-driven interactions.

According to the study conducted by professors at Boston College, the effects were most significant among Black and Asian women.

To combat rising prices ahead of winter, the UK will subsidize household energy costs and work to expand domestic energy supplies across the board.

Pennsylvania children living near unconventional oil and gas developments at birth were two to three times more likely to be diagnosed with leukemia between the ages of 2 and 7 than those who did not live near this oil and gas activity, after accounting for other factors that could influence cancer risk, a novel study from the Yale School of Public Health finds.

This paper presents a work flow that has been applied to crossdipole sonic data acquired in a vertical pilot well drilled in the Permian Basin.
