... have been monitored using the satellite system. A case study for a stimulation treatment was conducted and is presented. Introduction As with most companies who are involved with production, oil and gas producers are constantly looking for ways to improve productivity and reduce costs. This applies...

... Limited became actively involved in producing the Nisku formation in the Enchant field of southern Alberta in 1985. The need for fracture stimulations was not as great in the first five years of operations as the wells drilled were generally of better reservoir quality. Fracture stimulation treatments...

... fracture propagation paths during stimulation treatments. Most coals are initially water saturated and require a de-watering period early in the life of the reservoir to induce a pore-pressure drawdown. The drawdown initiates gas desorption and enables gas diffusion into the natural fracture system. Coals...

... Abstract In 1985 ARCO Oil and Gas Company developed an advanced data collection and analysis unit for real-time monitoring and analysis of hydraulic fracture stimulation treatments. This equipment is comprised of a truck containing a 40 channel data logger with two microprocessor computer...

... Abstract Solvents and mutual solvents have been used for numerous years as stimulation treatments or as components of stimulation treatment packages. This paper presents the results of field case histories of stimulation treatments using a unique combination of selected solvents and mutual...

... is avoided. Elimination of channeling results in good zone isolation and thus more efficient stimulation treatments. This also reduces production of fluids from undesirable zones. The future of an oil or gas well depends on its early life. Among the things occurring in a well's early life which affect its...

... Abstract A major concern to the petroleum industry has been the potential damage to the reservoir and propped fracture system following a stimulation treatment. Possible damage due to the stimulation fluid can exist from residue, fluid retention, or formation-fluid incompatibility. During...
