... Abstract Given the critical role of polyacrylamide-based Friction Reducers (FRs) in enhancing the efficiency of hydraulic fracturing, this paper aims to provide a comprehensive framework of best practices for evaluating and selecting FRs that account for varying frac fluid compositions...

... Abstract What is the value of automation in hydraulic fracturing? Companies are under constant pressure to deliver continuously improving results in the face of market challenges. Evidence for the need to improve results is evident in earnings calls and managerial opinions, where calls...

... Abstract The use of produced water in hydraulic fracturing operations is a sustainable alternative to freshwater resources and can reduce completion costs while taking pressure off the disposal reservoir. An examination of how Bakken operators have progressed utilization over the past decade...

Four samples of 40/140 mesh proppants were utilized. Initially, an API Crush Test was conducted to establish reference data...

... Abstract The Utah FORGE (Frontier Observatory for Research in Geothermal Energy) is a U.S. Department of Energy-sponsored field laboratory for demonstrating and promoting the feasibility of hydraulically fracturing thermally conductive granite (or similar) formations to create an Enhanced...

... 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...

..., physical, and economic viability. A new concept for EOR which is used to improve injectivity in SWD wells has been successfully applied in the Permian Basin resulting in production uplift and EUR increase. The concept/idea was simple. The fracture system that is created during hydraulic fracturing...

... Abstract For hydraulic fracturing treatments, propped area and fracture efficiency are dependent on the proficiency of proppant transport into the fracture aperture. Resultant fracture conductivity is dependent on how well proppant can be distributed throughout the fracture. Typically, two...

... effects of stress reduction due to pressure depletion and its influence on child well placement remain underexplored and could potentially play an important role in future well planning. In this study, we examined this effect using wells from the Hydraulic Fracture Test Site 1 (HFTS1) in the Midland...

... Abstract The transition to natural gas as a primary fuel source in hydraulic fracturing operations launched in 2013 with the introduction of dual fuel engines, which use a blend of diesel and natural gas. This transition remains ongoing, marked by two fundamentally different approaches...
