... in the footprint of equipment such as trucks and tanks. Nonetheless, high TDS could limit the effectiveness of HVFR in providing better hydraulic fracturing treatments. This study investigates the impact of Utica's high TDS on HVFR using a flow loop test. The study investigates the consequences of the following...

... Abstract Individual well performance in the Marcellus Shale of northeastern Pennsylvania varies markedly, even in areas where the lithology, fluid composition, and completion design are consistent. A primary reason for this is the natural fracture system, which influences hydraulic fracture...

... Abstract Polyacrylamide-based friction reducers (FRs) are widely used in hydraulic fracturing to reduce friction created within fluid as it flows through tubulars or other restrictions. These polymers generally add viscosity to the fluid to reduce the turbulence induced as fluid flows. Type...
