... were used to calibrate a hydraulic fracture model to enable more reliable predictions of fracture geometry and morphology. Cluster-level measurements of fluid distribution provided data to support increasing clusters per stage and decreasing stage count. Production has been monitored continuously...

...Xiao Jin; Alhad Phatak; Dawn Friesen; Aaron Sanders; Ginger Ren; Nicholas Koster Summary Surfactants are typically used in hydraulic fracturing applications to perform a single function, which results in multiple surfactants being used during operations. In this study, flow loop and coreflood tests...

...Brent A. Kebert; Jennifer L. Miskimins; Gage Soehner; William Hunter Summary Hydraulic fracturing in limited-entry (LE) completion designs relies on maintaining a high bottomhole treating pressure (BHTP). LE requires high perforation friction to maintain an even distribution of the hydraulic...

...Sihan Yang; Xiaoping Li; Qiguo Liu; Youjie Xu Summary Since there are several hydraulic fractures around a wellbore after a large-scale hydraulic fracturing and the well is not in the center of the reservoir, no corresponding semianalytical model for wellbore pressure analysis has been proposed...

...Qian Gao; Desheng Zhou; Ahmad Ghassemi; Xiong Liu; Yafei Liu; Minhao Guo Summary As a mature technology to enhance the permeability of geological formations, hydraulic fracturing has widely been used in geothermal energy development and in the petroleum industry. Due to its effectiveness...

...Shabeeb Alajmei; Jennifer Miskimins Summary Proppant transport in horizontal wellbores has received significant industry focus over the past decade. One of the most challenging tasks in the hydraulic fracturing of a horizontal well is to predict the proppant concentration that enters each...

BVOH diverting agents were evaluated for slit widths of 1–4 mm with different pellet geometries using a high-pressure and high-temperature filtration apparatus. The swelling and dissolution rates depend on many parameters such as the temperature, dissolution...

...Yongzan Liu; Ge Jin; Kan Wu; George Moridis Summary Low-frequency distributed acoustic sensing (LF-DAS) has been used for hydraulic fracture monitoring and characterization. Large amounts of DAS data have been acquired across different formations. The low-frequency components of DAS data are highly...
