As 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…
After 5 years of in-depth diagnostic research, the Oklahoma City-based operator shares more insights on fracture behavior.
This paper discusses the development of a multientry, multistage fracturing system and its advantages over traditional openhole multistage fracturing solutions.

Many oil and gas companies are pursuing fracture-flowback-water and produced-water recycling for subsequent drilling and fracturing operations. Removal of metals is important to success of these processes. -
Gerald Verbeek contests the theory that fracturing opposition is meme driven.

The lower tertiary formation found in the pre-salt layers of the Gulf of Mexico has become a proving ground for extending what is possible when completing multistage fracturing in ultradeepwater wells.

This study provides a model for the inclined fracture case. It applies and further extends the unified-fracture-design approach for rectangular drainage areas, relating the dimensionless proppant number to the maximum productivity index in pseudosteady-state conditions.

Implementation of channel fracturing enhanced by rod-shaped proppant brings substantial value for depleted Devonian formations in the Orenburg region of Russia.

This paper provides new approaches to fracture design for thick, vertically anisotropic reservoirs, when considerable uncertainty in reservoir parameters amplifies the financial risks associated with water depth and remoteness.
-
This paper aims to develop criteria for identifying situations in which induced fracture complexity and sustained conductivity are or are not required.

Southwestern Energy plans to be freshwater neutral in its hydraulic fracturing operations by next year, and the company is well on its way to achieving that goal, said the leader of the group responsible for bringing it to fruition.

You have probably heard that the Eskimo language has several dozen words for “snow,” a frequently repeated and well-known idea. It is untrue. A meme is a snippet of culture that is learned by imitation and passed on by imitation or repetition.

The United States’ liquids-rich shale experience has been dominated by three major plays: the Eagle Ford Shale in south Texas, the Permian Basin in west Texas, and the Bakken Shale that straddles North Dakota and Montana.
