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.

The upstream industry has viewed real-time completions as a long-term goal, but the technology is already in use. -
This study aims to thoroughly assess the influence of various completions, fracturing stimulation, and intrinsic reservoir properties affecting the productivity of 10 major unconventional plays while uncovering insights and trends unique to each play.

This paper investigates condensate-banking effects on well performance by conducting field-modeling studies on Delaware Basin deep Wolfcamp condensate producers using compositional simulation models with hydraulic fractures.
-
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.
-
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.
-
US shale producers have stepped up their use of simultaneous fracturing techniques to cut costs and accelerate well delivery.
-
Natural gas-powered electric fleets look to pave the way for the next generation of power generation.
-
Field examples from the Bakken Shale and Permian Basin illustrate the benefits of deploying polymer-coated and uncoated scale inhibitors in unconventional wells.

SponsoredAs operators strive to increase production under tighter budgets, traditional downhole diagnostics are falling short—too costly, complex, and time-consuming. Seismos Acoustic Friction Analysis (SAFA) offers a smarter, surface-based alternative. This white paper explores how SAFA enables real-time treatment optimization, better fracture performance, and substantial cos…
