... through geologic drivers was made. An investigation of the implications of ancient geology on what is believed to be specific areas of micro-flexures in and around the major geologic structures in Montana's Bakken three-member formation will form the basis for a Bakken production model. The challenge...

... Abstract An investigation of the net fracturing pressure of multiple stage HZ Marcellus wells was undertaken to give some indication about the Marcellus differences or similarities in 3 areas of the Appalachian basin. References were cited to support the theory that an increase of the net...

... Abstract This paper presents the findings of a laboratory investigation of the thermomechanical behaviour of anisotropic rock. The tests were performed on natural (Tournemire shale) using triaxial cells modified to control and to go to high temperature. The range of temperatures that were...

..., and permeability. In this study we investigate the porosity and permeability changes in deforming porous rock using X-ray CT imaging. We used a specially designed X-ray-transparent tri-axial cell enabling fluid flow at the same time. We scanned the samples at successively higher differential stress to observe...

This work defines several areas that need special investigation and sheds light on several previously unanswered questions. The most salient findings are that hole size changes, cuttings size...

... and focused investigations of fluid flow are required. The purpose of this paper is to review the various aspects of fluid flow within the fracture, provide several relevant pieces of new information, and to identify areas for additional research. The areas considered are the effects of slip flow; proppant...
