Fracturing/pressure pumping
This work elaborates on recommended practices for calibrating a numerical model to a set of available infill-well field observations.
This paper presents a high-fidelity, reservoir-centric stimulation-to-production modeling workflow to prevent fracture-driven interactions.
This case study from ARC Resources and DarkVision outlines the use of acoustic imaging tools in two active fracturing programs in Canada to monitor well casing deformation.

Shale producers are pulling completions crews out of the field to respond to the recent price crash, but the contraction has only begun. -
The ruling comes after a 4-year legal battle between Winona County commissioners and Minnesota Sands, a local company that claimed the 2016 ban was an unconstitutional limitation on interstate commerce and amounted to the government taking its property without compensation.

Led by Texas and New Mexico, year-over-year crude output jumped by 11% according to the US Energy Information Administration. Going forward, new records will be set but at a slower pace.
-
In this episode, we discuss some of the latest research and emerging techniques that were shared at the industry’s leading hydraulic fracturing gathering earlier this year.
-
Sometimes problems turn out to be an opportunity to try something new. In this case, the result was a well design unlike anything most in the shale sector have seen before.
-
High-tech testing is playing a bigger role than ever in helping shale producers reduce the time needed to screen out bad ideas.
-
The two oilfield service leaders serve as critical bellwethers for the health of North America’s upstream sector, which is under pressure to consolidate and generate free cash flow.
-
The shale sector is seeking answers to a complex issue involving casing deformations that block access to long sections of a lateral. As opposed to frac hits, this rising problem is considered to be an intrawell phenomena.
-
Oil and gas extraction using water has opened up new hydrocarbon resources. However they can produce four times more salty water byproduct than oil. Desalination in shale gas and polymer-flood EOR remain niche markets for lowering cost and improving production.
-
As completions activity slows down in the US, the second service company in a week’s time has said it is exiting the business of hydraulic fracturing.
