This paper presents an optimization project that was implemented in the Khazzan and Ghazeer fields of Oman to optimize the post-fracturing cleanup and testing period to reduce hydrocarbon flaring and CO2 emissions as well as the testing cost without compromising the overall well cleanup and testing objectives. -
SponsoredFrac operators are continuously challenged by pressures to increase ROI and simultaneously decrease emissions. But is it really possible? New technology released in February from Catalyst Energy Services proves that it is possible. And the results are compelling.
-
Efforts to mitigate the potentially harmful effects of hydraulic fracturing have traditionally been divided along two fronts—those that primarily focus on protecting the environment and wildlife and those that focus on protecting humans and domestic animals. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
-
New research from Hess offers compelling evidence that two layers of tight rock can be treated as one and how passive wells can become oil producers.
-
SponsoredA novel metric allows operators to chart a new course to maximizing production. Gain greater insight into flow resistance in the near-wellbore region of a fractured well.

The second edition of the SPE International Hydraulic Fracturing Technology Conference and Exhibition opened in Muscat, Oman, yesterday with more than 395 oil and gas professionals from 90 companies and 28 countries.

The disruptive nature of unconventional reservoirs has spurred the need for new ideas. But that doesn’t always mean that we need to toss out the traditional methods that got us here. Such might be the case for the recent developments unfolding around the diagnostic fracture injection test (DFIT).

The pressure pumping business has been looking up this year, but the price paid to buy a big player in that business, FTS International, suggests growth may not last.
-
Researchers say they found that the amount and proximity of natural gas wells to a home were linked to higher levels of certain chemical contaminants.

Electric-powered fracturing fleets looked impressively resilient in 2020 amid what was otherwise a significant collapse for the hydraulic fracturing sector. Today, the situation is more complicated.
