proppant
-
In this paper, a comparison is presented of the range of production outcomes for Clair Phase 1 and Clair Ridge, including the potential downsides of relying on natural fractures.
-
Fracturing hot rock to create a geological water-heating system is like fracturing an oil well, but for a different purpose, so is proppant really necessary?
-
The biggest sand haul ever reported by service provider Enercorp is a reminder that proppant flowback is a mounting challenge for shale producers.
-
In this paper, the authors discuss what components have contributed to recent proppant-placement cost reductions and use several case studies to illustrate the potential for further cost reductions.
-
A team of engineers did something no one had done before: a full-scale fracturing test on the surface. The results surprised the fracturing experts involved.
-
The message from a single chart’s data from the first full-scale hydraulic fracturing surface test is simple: Far less proppant flows out of the first clusters passed in a stage than the last ones.
-
The paper provides information to engineers for selecting high-viscosity friction reducers and describes a methodology for evaluating damage potential and proppant transport.

SponsoredHigh-resolution optical measurements hold the key to unlocking the performance of hydraulically fractured wells
-
Ease of use and crowd-pleasing economics are driving US shale producers toward wet-sand completions. Chesapeake Energy is among the latest converts and explains why it wants to use wet sand on every new well.
-
A trio of field studies recently presented at the 2020 SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition highlights in different ways how emerging technology and old-fashioned problem solving are moving the industry needle on proppant and conductivity control.
