This article presents a compilation of the stages performed for the job, from its planning and design, through the assurance...

... Abstract The main objective is to present a new crush testing method which, in contrast to the American Petroleum Institute (API) Crush Test, determines the proppant's ability to maintain its original size at specific applied pressures. This new crush test provides a better methodology...

... included stage volume, proppant placement, testing an ultralightweight proppant (ULWP), fluids – slickwater versus crosslinked carboxymethyl hydroxypropyl guar (XL CMHPG), and the number of perforation clusters. Most stages treated well, some verging on screening out. In two stages, proppant...

... not always align with the targeted stimulation zones. Consequently, this can result in leaving many created fractures inadequately propped, as much of the injected proppants settle near the wellbore or are lost in the overtreated fractures. To understand maximizing the fracture-propped area and the transport...

... operations is the subsurface pathway for the reservoir fluids to the wellbore. This pathway is subject to scale, paraffins and biofilm depositions as are surface flow lines and facilities. Engineered Chlorine Dioxide (CLO2), a strong oxidizer capable of breaking down and keeping all these proppant pack...

... 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...

... Abstract The objective of this work is to estimate proppant pack permeability from crush data utilizing a revised Kozeny-Carman equation. The proposed theoretical model, developed from experimental data, seeks to provide a reliable method for evaluating and selecting proppants. Permeability...

... Abstract Improving output from unconventional oil and gas reserves requires the appropriate proppant and chemicals not only to facilitate fracture creation but also to reduce damage to both the proppant pack and the reservoir itself. The interactions between polyacrylamides (PAMs) used...

.... Methods, Procedures, Process Hydraulic fracture profiles (HFPs) were generated at the cluster level for every stage using Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) data collected in real-time by the permanent fiber during stimulation. These HFPs were used to calculate SDE parameters, such as Proppant...
