... and reservoir is presented. Real DTS data from a hydraulic fracturing operation in a low-permeability basin in west Texas has been inverted using this model. Flow allocation based on the thermo-hydraulic model is presented. It was found that the reservoir heterogeneity, and hence the zonal flow rates, can...

... Abstract In multistage fracturing of unconventional formations such as the Eagle Ford shale, wells are traditionally stimulated by fracturing several perforation clusters simultaneously. While the technique is operationally efficient, there is evidence from production logs, microseismic...

... to wells in this area. This was achieved through analyzing and optimizing the laboratory operations, design of cement systems, bulk plant and job site processes. This study shows by taking the proper steps to design these processes, a manufacturing style approach can be very successful when applied...

... by hydraulic fracturing. Increasing the number of stages of fracturing will improve the overall conductivity of the wells matrix but current methods limit this number and involve ID reduction from toe to heel of the well. For this reason an Operator in Canada decided to test out the use of the Slickwater...

... The solid and liquid waste streams produced in typical well construction can be grouped into five general categories: a visible and continuous commitment from local management to implement and sustain the fluid management plan; a dedicated project team consisting of: ○ an operator...

... an extensive investigation underway of hydraulic fracturing and the production of shale gas around the country. xxi According to that investigation, numerous states have reported cases involving spills of hazardous materials or other occurrences of water contaminated by oil or gas operations. xxii...

... Abstract This paper presents methods, materials, and procedures that can enable operators to prepare safe and effective fracturing fluids from returned fracturing fluid (commonly called "flowback") and produced formation water. Reuse of frac fluid and formation water especially focused on high...

... Abstract The Horn River Basin covers an estimated 3 million acres in a remote and difficult to access area of northern British Columbia. A number of Operators have experimental projects in the area, using various drilling and completion techniques, in order to evaluate the shale reservoir, gas...

... of noise mitigation needed to meet regulatory requirements for environmental and occupational noise. Even the best of intentioned operators fail to hit the mark, sometimes by wide margins and end up with a situation that is potentially worse than when they started. No company wants to go through a process...

... the efficiency of the drilling of these wells. Utilizing a drilling simulator where drilling operational or log data is required to generate a drillability log or apparent rock strength log (ARSL) offset gas storage wells in the area were analyzed. The sonic log data from the offset wells were utilized...

... As oilfield cementing evolves over time, more and more considerations should be brought into the design stage. These can include temperature cycling, high-pressure stimulations, and the method used to produce the well. Each operation performed on a well has an effect on the cement sheath behind...

... Abstract Cost-effective development of unconventional gas resources depends upon strategic application of advancing technologies. By employing efficient fracturing techniques with an appropriate multi-stage fracturing completion, operators can achieve higher initial gas rates, increased...

... Abstract New cement slurries have been developed with significantly reduced greenhouse gas footprints when compared to conventional cement slurries used for oil and gas well cementing operations. The slurries consist of geopolymeric materials exhibiting superior chemical and mechanical...

.... Abstract While using conventional surface launch cementing plugs during cementing operations performed on large diameter surface pipe, significant costs are incurred during the pumping of cement and displacement fluids because of the large volumes involved in the job. Additionally, high differential...
