hydraulic fracturing

This paper focuses on a replicable, quantitative workflow using completions-process simulation software.

This paper presents a high-fidelity, reservoir-centric stimulation-to-production modeling workflow to prevent fracture-driven interactions.

This work elaborates on recommended practices for calibrating a numerical model to a set of available infill-well field observations.

Case studies from Devon Energy, ConocoPhillips, and others show how clever engineering and technology are being used to improve recovery and asset value.

This case study from ARC Resources and DarkVision outlines the use of acoustic imaging tools in two active fracturing programs in Canada to monitor well casing deformation.

The creation of SPE’s Acid Stimulation Technical Section shines a light on the technique that improves injectivity and productivity. JPT talked with the chair of the new section about the importance of the technical area.

Operators struggle to understand proppant placement beyond the fracture, and that’s the information that could be the key to boosting EUR.

Field evidence from the Eagle Ford and Austin Chalk reveals how hydraulic-fracturing-induced bedding plane slippage interacts with natural fractures to reshape fracture networks, with important implications for reservoir connectivity, well integrity, and optimized completion design.

This guest editorial examines why geothermal projects require a different planning, financing, and development approach than traditional oil and gas projects.

The solvent-based technology involves a modular treatment process that uses a proprietary catalyst designed to safely and sustainably remove hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) from sour gas streams using either produced water or an alkaline water as the treating media.
