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.

The deal is expected to add over $1 billion in annual free cash flow to Chevron’s bottom line.

The $540 million joint acquisition is expected to close in June.

The Denver-based company bulks up its Permian position with the purchase of three EnCap Investment portfolio companies.

This paper presents design considerations and field-trial applications for determining practical dimensions and limits for interdependencies associated with stage length, perforation clusters, and limited-entry pressures.

The authors of this paper define a work flow that constrains solutions that match models and field observations and obtains a more-representative model for forecasting and optimizing fracture behavior.
