... Abstract During hydraulic fracturing operations, the diesel fuel consumed by equipment is a major expenditure in an operator's completion program. More specifically, the diesel fuel consumed by a hydraulic fracturing fleet can account for nearly 20% of consumable costs on an average single well...

... Abstract Hydraulic fracturing treatments in unconventional infill (or "child") wells can be significantly affected by depletion from existing parent-well, resulting in asymmetrical fracture growth. These issues may lead to excessive load-water production, proppant deposition, casing deformation...

... conductivities through hydraulic fracturing may substantially increase oil production from wells. This work of improving the fracture conductivity could be conducted by distributing and transporting proppant within the fracture lengths using high fracture fluid concentrations. This research focused on three...

... in permeability and hydraulic fracture conductivity which are detrimental to the production. Our previous investigation ( El Sgher et al. 2022 ) concluded that the adverse impact of the shale compaction is more significant during the early production due to higher gas production rates. Therefore, it is important...

... Abstract Hydraulic fracturing is a method employed for extracting oil and gas from unconventional reservoirs by pumping a mixture of water, sand, and additives into the reservoirs to fracture oil formations. A high viscosity friction reducer (HVFR) based on polyacrylamide is a popular chemical...

... Abstract Hydraulic fracturing near depleted fractured rocks is a major cause of fracture hits, leading to damage in parent wells and reduced fracture efficiency in the child well due to significant fluid and proppant losses to the parent well. This behavior is exacerbated by tight well spacing...

... wells with efficient and effective hydraulic fracture stimulation enabled economic recovery in shale gas reservoirs. However, ultimate gas recovery is still low due to the dynamics of fracture conductivity with respect to stresses, geochemistry, and interactions with formation rocks. Laboratory studies...

... Spring) and parent wells (Delaware Basin). Abstract This study focuses on the optimization of child well spacing to mitigate fracture hits caused by hydraulic fracturing near depleted fractured rocks. Fracture hits lead to damage in the parent wells and significantly reduce the productivity...

... permeability reservoirs require horizontal drilling and multistage hydraulic fracturing techniques to be able to produce hydrocarbon economically. One of the biggest challenges of the hydraulic fracturing technique is to precisely estimate the fracture propagation ( Michael 2022 ). Due to the high...

... Abstract Friction reducer (FR) is a chemical additive utilized in hydraulic fracturing operations to minimize friction between the fracturing fluid and the wellbore walls. Its purpose is to overcome tubular drag during high-flow-rate pumping in stimulation treatments. In recent years, there has...
