Fracturing/pressure pumping
In this work, microseismic observations are integrated with strain and other observations to investigate the microseismic response in relation to the underlying hydraulic fracture geometry for different rock types.
This work proposes a method to interpret far-field strain-change and pressure data to quantify fracture connectivity and properties at the cluster level.
Modern completions often are equipped with downhole measurement devices that provide critical real-time data not only during the hydraulic fracturing treatment but also during the ensuing production phase.

Murphy Oil has created a work flow to normalize the tags it uses when collecting data on its hydraulic fracturing stages. The work flow described here empowers decision makers, who no longer wait for hours to collect data or waste hours cleaning and preparing data for analysis. -
The all-stock deal doubled Liberty’s working pressure-pumping capacity without adding any debt to its balance sheet, while Schlumberger retains a 37% equity interest.

Groups of wells communicate, interfere, and hit each other. It is an unruly scene that can offer benefits. Three stories look at why competing fracture networks can add to the production from rock that might otherwise be missed.
