This paper presents the results of integrating microseismic fracture map** with numerical
production modeling of fracture networks in the Barnett shale. Microseismic fracture …

The development of hydraulic fracturing has created a huge demand for fracturing fluids with
high performance and low formation damage in recent years. In this paper, a foam stabilized …

The success of hydraulic fracture treatment can be evaluated by measuring fracture
conductivity and regained permeability. However, selecting the suitable fracture fluid system …

One hundred fractured reservoirs from around the world were evaluated to determine how
ultimate recovery was affected by inherent reservoir and fluid properties, such as porosity …

Field experience has shown that inefficient transport of small cuttings is a main factor for
excessive drag and torque during extended reach drilling; however, very little is known …

In the process of the large-scale hydraulic fracturing development in oil and gas fields,
reservoir damage caused by polymer fracturing fluid is inevitable. The real oil and gas field …

Hydrocarbon recovery from a hydraulic-fractured unconventional reservoir can be enhanced
by replacing slickwater with non-Newtonian high-viscosity gel as a fracturing fluid. However …

After fracture stimulation, production often rises slowly, instead of showing an early transient.
This indicates either severe reduction in fracture conductivity or reservoir damage. There is …

An experimental and modeling study was undertaken to investigate proppant settling and
retardation in hydraulic fractures. Experiments were conducted in a fracture flow cell for …

The key objective of hydraulic fracturing in tight formation gas reservoirs is the creation of"
effective" fracture length. The creation of effective fracture length requires that sufficient …
