... with relatively low onset pressures (AOP), another challenge was posed, "Can you place a solid inhibitor during the completion phase that can prolong expensive remediation treatments, while maximizing value by adjusting the chemical release pressure?" A new solid, controlled release proppant like inhibitor...

... was completed using a 15,000-psi-rated openhole multistage completion (MSC) system to place six hydraulic proppant fractures and access most of the nearby natural fractures in the reservoir. Over 20 well interventions were conducted by coiled tubing (CT) to shift the MSC frac ports, log the well by caliper...

... the perforating tunnel and annular pack thus creating an internal filter cake and reducing proppant permeability, especially in the perforations where linear flow through proppant pack occurs and pressure drop is the highest. Based on this assessment, a HF/HCl acid stimulation was formulated to dissolve silica...

... used, other alternatives have been explored. Viscoelastic surfactants (VES) as part of fracturing fluids and proppant transport fluids compositions during a fracture treatment is a departure from the use of polymer viscosifiers. A VES fluid's viscosity is created by self-assembling surfactant small...

... a resin system to consolidate proppant pillars and enhance proppant pack conductivity and treatment longevity. Pumping schedule was designed to overflush and left no proppant mass in wellbore, an unconventional practice in this type of reservoir which led to decrease in operational times by precluding...

... Abstract Conventional fracturing requires isolating one interval or a set of intervals hydrostatically to ensure the proper placement of proppant mass. This process involves considering various factors such as perforated length, formation permeability, and fluid leak-off performance to define...

... Abstract Friction reducers (FRs) are commonly used in Slickwater fracturing operations to enhance oil and gas production. They are essential in reducing the frictional forces that develop along the pipe wall while pumping at high flow rates while placing proppant into fractures created...

... Abstract A porous media chemical delivery system has been developed which allows the release of various chemistries at a controlled rate, over long periods of time. This delivery system is able to replace a portion of the proppant used in gravel packing and fracturing, as well as an additive...

... Abstract Conventional asphaltene inhibitor treatments prevent asphaltene deposition in the production string and near the wellbore. However, these liquid injection treatments provide little to no protection deep into the reservoir. A new proppant like slow release asphaltene additive...

... Abstract Viscoelastic surfactants (VES) were introduced to apply in hydraulic fracturing fluids as a proppant carrier in order to replace polymers which possess high potential for formation damage. Yet, VES technology is limited by its low thermal stability and high leak-off behavior in high...
