... of major incidents that can take weeks to recover from. We have been involved since 2004 in developing planning solutions to manage better the flowback and clean-up operations. One must start with the understanding of the relevant physics that drives the clean-up processes. The forward modeling basis...

... Abstract In an oil field, openhole multilateral maximum reservoir contact (MRC) wells are drilled. These wells are typically equipped with smart well completion technologies consisting of inflow control valves and permanent downhole monitoring systems. Conventional flowback techniques consisted...

... Abstract This paper covers the research, development, and field application of a cost-effective, on-the-fly chemical additive that reduces proppant flowback during well production. Laboratory tests and field results, showing the effect this chemical additive has on proppant flowback...

... Abstract Analysis of fracturing water flowback data from hydraulic fractures in unconventional reservoirs plays an important role in determining key fracture properties and predicting future well performance. Current flowback data analysis tools mostly rely on empirical correlations...

... Abstract This paper presents a method for identifying the optimum soaking time between the cessation of pumping, and the flowback of hydraulic fracturing fluids after a hydraulic fracture stimulation job, to increase productivity of shale gas and oil wells. Multiple cracks were observed...

... separator is typically installed upstream of the choke manifold. The solids accumulated in the sand separator are usually flashed directly to a sand pit or a flowback tank by surging the well and bypassing the rest of the flowback equipment. This practice adds to operational simplicity and efficiency...

... Abstract In this study, we propose a new method for estimating average fracture compressibility ( c f ¯ ) during flowback process, and apply it on flowback data from thirty multi-fractured horizontal wells completed in Eagle Ford, Horn River, Montney and Woodford formations...
