... Abstract During hydraulic fracturing, temporarily plugging existing fractures and diverting the injected slurry further into newly created fractures is beneficial for maximizing reservoir contact and productivity. Typically, the injected slurry flows into the path of least resistance, which may...

... Abstract During a bullhead refrac treatment, an Eagle Ford operator utilized active acoustic pulses to measure diverter effectiveness while continuously pumping. The goal was to determine if the fluid point of entry along the lateral would change after the diverter material seated...
