Fracturing/pressure pumping
A novel approach uses the heart-shaped signal in low-frequency distributed acoustic sensing measurements to estimate the hydraulic fracture tip distance before the hydraulic fracture intersects the monitor well, offering critical insight into the characterization of hydraulic fracture propagation.
At SPE’s Permian Basin Energy Conference, operators shared behind-the-scenes details on innovations such as drilling horseshoe wells and trimulfrac completions along with in-basin challenges such as handling produced water.
This paper presents a specialized workflow that aims to quantify the severity of condensate banking and subsequently optimize reservoir development strategies for a deep formation in the Permian Basin.

This paper describes a new intelligent dosing technology to reduce liquid loading in an unconventional tight gas reservoir. -
The key element of hydraulic-fracture modeling is the prediction of the generated fracture geometries. Research conducted over the years has trickled down predictive software. Nevertheless, the ability to design optimal fracture treatments is hampered, as we cannot “see” the subsurface.

Hitting the next well during fracturing happens all the time. Predictably doing that on a large scale in granite looks a lot harder.

The latest ruling reverses a lower court decision to block the Ecopetrol and ExxonMobil programs in the Andean nation.

This paper explores a holistic approach to characterize trouble stages by applying automated event recognition of abnormal pressure increases and associating those events with formation and operational causes.

In this paper, the authors discuss what components have contributed to recent proppant-placement cost reductions and use several case studies to illustrate the potential for further cost reductions.
