Fracturing/pressure pumping
This work evaluates CO2-based fracturing as a sustainable development approach for shale gas reservoirs in the Burgos Basin of Mexico.
This case study presents the first field deployment of acoustic fracturing analysis to evaluate perforation efficiency and implement real-time interventions during pressure pumping.
Two new US Department of Energy funding programs focus on improving shale recovery, mitigating produced-water risks, managing sour gas, and enhancing facility efficiency.
