Fracturing/pressure pumping
In this third work in a series, the authors conduct transfer-learning validation with a robust real-field data set for hydraulic fracturing design.
This paper describes development of a high-temperature water-based reservoir drill-in fluid using a novel synthetic polymer and customized with optimal chemical concentrations and sized calcium carbonate.
The aim of this study is to incorporate detailed geological, petrophysical, and hydraulic fracturing models to better predict and mitigate the effects of interbench interactions.

In this case study, a geomechanics-based approach was used to create bridging and sealing at the fracture aperture using a biparticle self-degradable lost-circulation-fluid system. -
The objective of this paper is to apply a developed workflow to determine the propped hydraulic fracture geometry in a horizontal multistage fractured well, incorporating production, pressure, and strain data.
-
Operators from across the region met in Muscat to share how lessons from pilot programs are shaping cost, scale, and technology priorities across the region.
-
Outstanding papers over the past year have addressed topics such as casing deformation, well spacing, frac-design optimization, proppant transport in the well or in fractures, integrating diagnostics from field trials, and exploring the effects of lateral length on production.
-
This paper describes an alternative lower-completion concept for developing Lower Wilcox reservoirs referred to as high-angle multifractured well design.
-
The SPE International Hydraulic Fracturing Technology Conference and Exhibition opens with calls to adapt technology while addressing regional realities.
-
Casing deformation has emerged as a major challenge in China’s unconventional oil and gas fields, prompting the development of new solutions to address the issue.
-
The US supermajor is using one of its lowest-value hydrocarbon products to generate double-digit production increases in its most prolific US asset.
-
The collaboration has announced Closed Loop Fracturing, which combines real-time subsurface data with automated surface control.
-
Researchers with the National Energy Technology Laboratory showed that naturally occurring signals in underground fluids can serve as effective indicators of flow patterns between existing wellbores. Understanding these patterns can lead to increased efficiency and safety.
