... appropriate fracture conductivity and an economic optimum fracture length while reconciling these with actual fracture growth behavior in the reservoir. The technique incorporates the following simple, automated steps: Selects the most cost-effective fluid that will meet a minimum apparent viscosity...

...? To assist with answering this question, the fracture diagnostic of surface tiltmeter fracture mapping was used to evaluate fracture growth during the nine fracture treatments. Tilt results include fracture orientation and the approximate location and volume distribution of fracture components along...

... ABSTRACT Surface response to fracture growth (as measured by an array of tilt meters) is now being analyzed jointly with formation pressure response data to more accurately determine the result of fracture growth during stimulation treatments and for fracture closure after shut-in. Previously...

... migrated into the low stress payzone and increased after the fracture reached the outer barriers, and (iii) a higher net fluid pressure was required to initiate the fracture in comparison to the fracture initiated in the payzone. case iv symposium fracture growth geometry fracture payzone...

...-element stress-analysis model was developed to calculate the changes in in-si tu stress field. A three-dimensional fracture simulator was used to predict fracture growth and shape based on the calculated stress distribution. A thermal reservoir simulator was modified to include a simplified fracture...
