Fracturing/pressure pumping
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.
Two new studies from completions experts suggest the global upstream industry has a major opportunity in medium-quality reservoirs.

Geologists have identified a formation with a world-changing potential for carbon dioxide storage, but some engineering is required. -
Service company Liberty Energy has announced the formation of Liberty Power Innovations which will specialize in compressed natural gas.
-
The large US shale producer has officially entered into the renewable energy sector with its largest venture investment yet.
-
Two US test sites have fractured hot, dry rock with plans to create a network of fractures for water heating. They will soon find out if the fractures worked as expected.

This article presents a new data-driven analysis to locate low-frequency seismic sources, referred to as near-infrasound or infrasound sources. Combining these infrasound signals with microseismicity signals allows for better characterization and monitoring of the stimulated reservoir volume.
-
Fracturing hot rock to create a geological water-heating system is like fracturing an oil well, but for a different purpose, so is proppant really necessary?
-
When confronted by extremely hot wells drilled into hard rock, engineers start looking for new tools and then ask, is there a cheaper option?
-
From refracturing old wells to ones that don’t have to be fractured at all, notable producers argue that experiments are paying off.
