Fracturing/pressure pumping
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.
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.
This paper focuses on a replicable, quantitative workflow using completions-process simulation software.

Significant improvements to completions design and manufacturing have been made recently to accommodate long laterals and multiple fracturing or acidizing stages for different reservoir types, lithologies, and conditions. -
This paper describes numerical-simulation results from a three-well pad in a stacked liquids-rich reservoir (containing gas condensates) to understand the interaction between wells and production behavior.

The Kaji Semoga Field in South Sumatra consists of three main reservoirs—Telisa sandstone (TLS), Baturaja limestone, and Talangakar sandstone. The successful development of TLS with hydraulic fracturing led to further efforts to maximize oil recovery.
