Magma transport in brittle rock occurs by diking. Understanding the dynamics of diking and
its observable consequences is essential to deciphering magma propagation in volcanic …

Based on the theoretical study and field application of volume stimulation in horizontal wells
over the past 10 years, the core connotation of volume stimulation was further interpreted …

This book explains how to properly engineer and optimize a hydraulically fractured well by
selecting the right materials, evaluating the economic benefits, and ensuring the safety and …

As a non-aqueous fracturing technology, carbon dioxide (CO 2) fracturing is eliciting
increasing attention in the exploitation of tight oil/gas reservoirs. This study explored the …

The broaching of fluid through cement sheath imposes serious challenges to the integrity of
the wellbore. Wellbore integrity is highly dependent upon the integrity of the interfacial …

Abstract Sustained Casing Pressure (SCP) has become a serious problem in the
development of shale gas fields, which is believed to relate to the multistage fracturing …

Horizontal well with multi-stage fracturing is one of the most effective stimulation methods for
unconventional reservoirs, eg tight oil/gas or shale. To maximize reservoir stimulation …

Hydraulic fracturing has been used in cave mining for preconditioning the orebody following
its successful application in the oil and gas industries. In this paper, the state of the art of …

Volume fracturing of shale gas wells has been observed to lead to the failure of cement
sheath and to sustained casing pressure (SCP). This paper presents a new numerical …

Recent arguments about the possibility of well leakage and underground water pollution in
particular regions have raised significant concerns regarding wellbore integrity during …
