... Abstract Induced hydraulic fractures in the field interact heavily with pre-existing natural fractures in the rock that are abundant in many formations. Most laboratory fracturing investigations in the literature consider pre-existing fractures as frictional interfaces with zero thickness...

... and the lower net-to-gross reservoirs. This workflow combines geological (cores), petrophysical (Rock-Types, conventional logs) and dynamic data (pressures), to characterize the main barriers to flow between the different reservoirs. Shale barrier types and thicknesses of shales are picked and defined from logs...

... of this horizontal well is to target two highly depleted thin reservoirs (UCH and LCH) within Zubair, with a thick shale layer in between. While navigating the wellbore optimally through sweet spots within the reservoir units is a challenge, the risks of shale instability and differential sticking are other expected...

... of the project while corrugated steel plates require higher budgetary demand on the project. Therefore in the present paper, a parametric study being done to calculate thickness of front wall for various blast pressures, duration of blast pressure, reinforcement, span of wall for a simply supported end condition...

.... Integrated G&G study has shown that most hydrocarbon potential in Gotnia and Hith formations is directly linked to limestone thicknesses. Thin limestone layers imbedded within the anhydrite units act as the reservoir, the main challenge is the estimation of these beds continuity from a seismic scale...

... of laterals varied from 650–2000ft depending on the spatial distribution and geometry of sand bodies' vis-à-vis oil column. Effective geosteering through 7–12ft thick oil sands in these wells encountered 0.5 – 1.5 Darcy reservoirs. These oil sand layers produced from 850 BOPD to 4500 BOPD on initial...

.... Some of the deeper channel sands are trapped against the bounding fault of the ridge. These channel sands are stacked as a result of amalgamation of numerous channels, with the individual sand thickness of up to 60 meters but typically in the 15 to 30 meters range. These channel sands are discrete...
