A Comparative Study of Flowback Rate and Pressure Transient Behaviour in Multifractured Horizontal Wells
DownloadFall 2013
Tight reservoirs stimulated by multistage hydraulic fracturing are commonly characterized by analyzing the hydrocarbon production data. However, analyzing the hydrocarbon production data can best be applied to estimate the effective fracture-matrix interface, and is not enough for a full fracture...

Spring 2019
The increasing demand for fossil energy and the decreasing trend of conventional resources have shifted the focus of industry towards unconventional resources including shale gas, shale oil, tight gas, tight oil, and coalbed methane. Recent advances in stimulation techniques, including horizontal...

Displacement of Water by Gas in Propped Fractures: Effect of Fracture Fluid Surface Tension, Viscosity, Proppant Wettability and Gravity
DownloadFall 2013
Inefficient recovery of fracturing water used in multi-stage hydraulic fracturing operations is a growing industrial concern. Non-recovered water can be trapped in the tight rock matrix and/or in the complex fracture network. Trapped water can block the gas flow and damage the reservoir. This...
