Injector operating conditions are developed using results from a full 3-dimensional fracture growth...

... interfaces and layered interfaces can also blunt fracture growth ( Fisher and Warpinski 2011 ). Recently, Achielli et al. (2018) showed through 4D seismic that the growth of vertical fracture in horizontal wells in the Vaca Muerta were much more contained than reflected by microsismic, thus interpreting...

Production interference is caused by asymmetric fracture growth from the child well completions into the depleted region around the parent well (typically the area of least stress). Simulation results showed...

... Technologies to accurately monitor fracture growth, as well as to determine hydraulic fracture properties, are necessary to improve our understanding of the processes occurring in the reservoir in order to optimize stimulation treatments. For over twenty years, microseismic monitoring has been...

... fracture growth. One technique to address both of these problems is the use of non-viscosified brine as a fracturing fluid (i.e., water-fracturing). Water-fracturing limits fracture growth due to its high leakoff, and allows pad volumes to be minimized because proppant concentrations are maintained at low...

... operations, a radial fracture growth pattern occurs when the initial or subsequent net fracturing pressure during the job exceeds the stress contrast between formations. This condition may result in unwanted downward fracture growth out of the zone of interest. In addition, the combination of a radial growth...
