In the last decade, we have observed major advancements in different modeling techniques
for hydraulic fracturing propagation. Direct monitoring techniques such as fibre-optics can be …

We performed a modeling study calibrating a coupled" true" hydraulic fracturing and
reservoir simulator to a complex set of observations from a parent-child well pad in the …

Knowledge of layer-to-layer variations of the least principal stress S h min with depth is
essential for optimization of multistage hydraulic fracturing in unconventional reservoirs …

A forward model for optical fiber strain was established based on a planar 3D multi-fracture
model. Then the forward method calculating distributed fiber strain induced by multi-fracture …

This paper presents results from a collaborative industry study involving ten high-quality pad-
scale datasets from the Delaware Basin, Midland Basin, Bakken, and Montney. The study …

Effective proppant placement has been one of the key objectives of hydraulic fracturing.
Different proppant and fracture fluid characteristics and placement methodologies have …

Formation fracturing is the method of choice for develo** shale oil and gas reservoirs that
constitute a gigantic resource in the USA and many other countries but are characterized by …

Water hammer is oscillatory pressure behavior in a wellbore resulting from the inertial effect
of flowing fluid being subjected to an abrupt change in velocity. It is commonly observed at …

The combination of hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling unlocked a huge energy
potential in the US. The unconventional plays have been developed by drilling several …

During plug and perf completion, perforation pressure drop is used to encourage a uniform
distribution of flow between clusters by overcoming stress shadowing, stress variability, and …
