proppant

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

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

This work evaluates CO2-based fracturing as a sustainable development approach for shale gas reservoirs in the Burgos Basin of Mexico.

Two new US Department of Energy funding programs focus on improving shale recovery, mitigating produced-water risks, managing sour gas, and enhancing facility efficiency.

Chevron and Halliburton describe how they built and deployed the fully autonomous closed-loop fracturing system that enables subsurface-driven optimization.

As unconventional hydraulic fracturing matures, completions practices shift from art to engineering best practices.

This paper reviews fracturing-program design, completion technology, real-time data collection, data integration, and lessons learned for the Pikka development on the North Slope of Alaska.

The paper describes a project in which extremely challenging stimulations were performed in a fractured tight carbonate in a complex strike/slip stress faulting regime with high tectonic stresses.

Hydraulic fracturing holds great potential in the region, but there are several key questions worth asking as efforts move forward.

This paper provides an account of the design, implementation, and operational insights from an enhanced geothermal system proppant stimulation targeting a volcanic, dry rock setting with an approximately 330°C bottomhole temperature.
