... Abstract In this current work, an unconventional fracture fluid was analysed for its rheological properties, ability to have relatively higher regain fracture conductivity after clean-up from proppant pack and ability to suspend and transport proppants to the fracture. The fracture fluid uses...

... for over five years. Placing a solid chemical inhibitor into the formation via the fracturing process requires a product that is compatible with the fracturing fluid, does not adversely affect conductivity and provides long term inhibition through the controlled release of the inhibitor into the produced...

... treated with the solid inhibitor. The longest documented treatment has been in the ground for over three years. Placing a scale inhibitor composite into the formation via the fracturing process requires a product that is compatible with the fracturing fluid, does not adversely affect the conductivity...

... Abstract The crosslinkers, buffers and breakers that are used in fracture fluid designs have typically been tested with emphasis placed on break time. Fracture fluids for high permeability formations need to be designed for multiple purposes: wellbore crosslink time, stability, and break time...

... Abstract The paper describes a new approach used to select fracture fluid systems by applying fuzzy logic for fracture treatments. Based on the given formation information, the system first determines base fluid, viscosifying method, and energization method. Secondly, the system chooses the 3...

... ABSTRACT Research sponsored by the Gas Research Institute indicates unbroken fracture fluids can lower gas reserves by 30%, reduce initial gas rates by 80%, and delay fracture fluid clean-up by weeks or months. The unbroken fracture fluids slow fracture fluid cleanup and flatten the production...

... for obtaining commercial completions; and, as a rule, Champlin Petroleum has pumped carbon dioxide with treatments to assist in the clean-up of fracture fluids. Since treatment costs are relatively high and other wells were to be drilled throughout the Basin, the use of postfracture temperature surveys...

... of the fracture well and fracture fluid can be used to map and characterize massive hydraulic fractures. The direction and any asymmetry of the fracture can be determined. Introduction In April 1973, a special Natural Gas Technology Task Force issued a preliminary report on three major gas deposits...

... American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical, and Petroleum Engineers, Inc. Abstract Over sixty wells have been treated with hydraulic fracturing techniques with foam as the fracturing fluid. These foams contained as much as 95% gaseous phase; most treatments used foams with gas contents...
