Fracturing/pressure pumping
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.
-
Hitting the next well during fracturing happens all the time. Predictably doing that on a large scale in granite looks a lot harder. -
New automated technology is making it possible to run pressure pumps for days on end.
-
The latest ruling reverses a lower court decision to block the Ecopetrol and ExxonMobil programs in the Andean nation.
-
This paper explores a holistic approach to characterize trouble stages by applying automated event recognition of abnormal pressure increases and associating those events with formation and operational causes.
-
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.
-
This paper presents a new real-time method to estimate stage-to-stage interference and well-to-well interference and their implications on completions efficiency.
-
Oil companies would have to pay a premium for the hardware and services needed for rapid expansion. But is that likely?
-
Liberty will be integrating Seismos’ measurements-while-fracturing system into its completions service to analyze near-wellbore fracture networks and create a near-field connectivity index.
-
This paper presents an optimization project that was implemented in the Khazzan and Ghazeer fields of Oman to optimize the post-fracturing cleanup and testing period to reduce hydrocarbon flaring and CO2 emissions as well as the testing cost without compromising the overall well cleanup and testing objectives.
-
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.
