Fracturing/pressure pumping
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.
This paper presents an integrated system for fracturing optimization using real-time, historical data along with organizational knowledge and the challenges and key considerations of implementing such a system.
The authors describe a casing-leak-repair alternative to allow continued hydraulic fracturing of an unconventional formation.

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. -
When there are two ways to measure something, and they offer significantly different numbers, which do you use?
-
Fracture monitoring to optimize fluid volumes and designs remains a critical area of development. Research is ongoing with the focus on combining different monitoring technologies including tracers, fiber optics, downhole cameras, and microseismic monitoring.

Geologists have identified a formation with a world-changing potential for carbon dioxide storage, but some engineering is required.
-
The mid-sized completions service provider is betting that automation will boost the competitiveness of natural gas-powered pumps.
-
Service company Liberty Energy has announced the formation of Liberty Power Innovations which will specialize in compressed natural gas.

Two US test sites have fractured hot, dry rock with plans to create a network of fractures for water heating. They will soon find out if the fractures worked as expected.

This article presents a new data-driven analysis to locate low-frequency seismic sources, referred to as near-infrasound or infrasound sources. Combining these infrasound signals with microseismicity signals allows for better characterization and monitoring of the stimulated reservoir volume.

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?
