... Abstract To achieve economic production from shale gas reservoirs hydraulic fracturing is required. This stimulation technology facilitates the interconnection of the multiple pore systems with the wellbore. Particularly, shale gas reservoirs exhibit a dual porosity system linked to the free...

... of posts on the SPE Reservoir Discussion group ( Neumaster 2018 ). Not knowing whether this was an anomaly associated with unconventional reservoirs (stimulated reservoir volume, multiple hydraulic fractures, compound linear flow etc), the problem was simplified to that of a single hydraulic fracture...

... included petrophysical and geomechanical properties along with a 2D discrete natural-fracture network representing the distribution of natural fractures in the reservoir. Hydraulic fractures in parent wells were modeled using original stress settings from the 3D-MEM. Then, a dynamic model was constructed...

... Abstract Geomechanics plays a significant role in hydraulic fracture initiation and propagation and in the interaction between hydraulic fractures and natural fractures, especially in unconventional reservoirs. This paper provides a detailed description of a geomechanical characterization...

..., and production history. Due to the low horizontal stress contrast (1[MMPA]), fine scale stress determination was required. A 3D initial stress model was available from a previous study. From this stress state geomechanical hydraulic fracture mapping was performed. This geomechanical modeling utilizes Zero...

... Abstract Analytical rate transient analysis (RTA) techniques are widely adopted for analyzing production data obtained from hydraulically fractured horizontal wells in tight or shale reservoirs. However, for a detailed characterization of the uncertain distributions of those complex...

... Abstract This paper introduces a 3D hydraulic fracturing propagation model (3D-HFPM) for evaluating fracture extension, geometry, stress response, fracture spacing, and potential for refracturing. The model is illustrated with data of the Horn River shale of Canada. The model is developed...
