... Abstract A new stage-by-stage analytical framework to identify and control high water influx stages in horizontal wells was successfully used in a multi-layer reservoir in Southeast Saskatchewan, Canada. The wells of interest were drilled in the Midale formation and hydraulically fractured...

... the petrophysical properties in the two layers, individual fractures produce with distinct GORs, even showing a variation of producing GOR (R p ) from different locations within a single hydraulic fracture. However, the total, well-producing GOR behavior is very similar for the heterogeneous- and homogeneous...

... Abstract Cyclic gas injection in hydraulically-fractured wells has been successfully applied as an enhanced oil recovery (EOR) method in tight unconventional basins such as the Permian and Eagle Ford. However, displacement processes (continuous gas, solvent or water injection) such as those...

... geomechanical hydraulic fracture mapping was performed. This geomechanical modeling utilizes Zero Thickness Element (ZTE) technology and the fractures only open if achieving the energy criteria. The stimulated volume and stress changes due to hydraulic fracturing were modeled with high resolution unstructured...

... 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...

... parts of the Montney. In most parts of the Montney reservoirs, porosity is about 3 to 12 percent and permeability is in the order of 100 nano darcy. Such low porosity and permeability of the Montney makes hydraulic fracturing stimulation necessary in order to produce from the reservoir economically...
