... cutting oil production by a factor of 4 times due to relative permeability effects. Gas rates even as low as 5 e3m3/d affect oil production of less than 5 m3/d. Load fluid clean-up can also be a problem due to low energy flowbacks. porosity log analysis proppant well logging fracture height...

... Abstract Dilation, or increased pore volume caused by multiple shear parting tangentially off a created vertical tensile fracture, is estimated using fall-off data from a minifrac test performed on a McMurray formation oil sands well at a depth of 300 m. For an assumed fracture height of 16 m...

... reservoir quality. Fracture height, propped fracture length, and effective reservoir permeability were revealed through history matching the postfracture productivity. The knowledge gained from the history matches was used as a basis for the design of a new treatment. This design study was conducted using...
