(2019-04-12)Onshore Oil and Gas production in the United States today primarily consists of exploiting unconventional shale reservoirs. Due to the low permeability of this type of formation, a stimulation method is required. A very ...
-
(2021-07-07)Using 3D printing technology, fracture conductivity test samples are replicated to overcome the challenge of sample inconsistency. The fracture surface topography is acquired using a laser profilometer, CT scans, and ...
-
(2009-06-02)One of the most critical parameters in the success of a hydraulic fracturing treatment is to have sufficiently high fracture conductivity. Unbroken polymers can cause permeability impairment in the proppant pack and/or in ...
-
(2014-09-05)Hydraulic fracture treatments are used in low permeability shale reservoirs in order to provide highly conductive pathways from the reservoir to the wellbore. The success of these treatments is highly reliant on the created ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)Low-permeability gas wells often produce less than predicted after a fracture treatment. One of the reasons for this is that fracture lengths calculated after stimulation are often less than designed lengths. While actual ...
-
(2019-05-29)The objective of this study was to further the understanding of fracture conductivity and its dependence on rock mechanical properties, mineralogy, and fracture surface attributes, as well as its impairment due to flowback, ...
-
(2009-05-15)The key to producing gas from tight gas reservoirs is to create a long, highly conductive flow path, via the placement of a hydraulic fracture, to stimulate flow from the reservoir to the wellbore. Viscous fluid is used ...
-
(2018-07-30)The goal of this study is to measure fracture conductivity on samples from the Meramec formation, a new unconventional play in Oklahoma. Conductivity samples were sourced from unpreserved downhole core provided by Marathon ...

(2023-02-20)Hydraulic fracturing is necessary for all wells in the unconventional reservoirs in the U.S. to be economically viable. Propped hydraulic fracturing involves pumping huge sums of fluid and proppant, at extremely high ...
