Fracturing/pressure pumping
Fracture modeling continues to be used to evaluate and design novel applications, and integration with diagnostics and other forms of field-data collection are crucial to success.
The creation of SPE’s Acid Stimulation Technical Section shines a light on the technique that improves injectivity and productivity. JPT talked with the chair of the new section about the importance of the technical area.
This paper focuses on a replicable, quantitative workflow using completions-process simulation software.
