The paper describes the operator’s first implementation of fishbone stimulation technology, establishing a precedent for other fishbone candidate wells. -
Offset well-pressure measurements in the Permian Basin are analyzed to evaluate if a fracturing job is overstimulated.
-
The authors use machine-learning methods combined with geomechanical, wellbore-trajectory, and completion data sets to develop models that predict which stages will experience difficulties during completion.
-
ExxonMobil submitted a proposal to Colombian authorities to develop a hydraulic fracturing pilot project in the Magdalena Basin. Colombia wants to drastically raise its declining reserves-to-production ratio by tapping into shale.

New Testing Facility Built To Prove Whether Natural-Gas Foam Is Shale Sector's Next Fracturing FluidA 6-year R&D project concludes with the completion of a technology kit designed to study how combining highly pressurized natural gas and water could be a holistic alternative to traditional hydraulic fracturing.
-
The qualification and first deployment of a low-solids, oil-based completion fluid that incorporates a newly developed, high-density brine as the internal phase to extend the density limit is discussed.
-
A pressure-monitoring technique using an offset sealed wellbore as a monitoring source has led to advancements in quantifying cluster efficiencies of hydraulic stimulations in real time.
-
S13Cr tubing specimens experienced stress corrosion cracking with phosphate-based completion fluids contaminated with mud and oxygen, whereas formate-based completion fluid is compatible with the tubing.
-
A well-flux surveillance method to monitor and ramp up production for openhole standalone screen completions is described that optimizes production by considering risks of production impairment and screen-erosion failure.
