(2011-02-22)Hydraulic fracturing of a naturally-fractured reservoir is a challenge for industry, as fractures can have complex growth patterns when propagating in systems of natural fractures in the reservoir. Fracture propagation ...
-
(2021-07-29)In multistage hydraulic fracturing treatments, the combination of extreme large-scale pumping (high rate and volume) and the high heterogeneity of the formation (because of large contact area) normally results in complex ...

Stochastic Programming Approach to Hydraulic Fracture Design for the Lower Tertiary Gulf of Mexico (2013-07-27)In this work, we present methodologies for optimization of hydraulic fracturing design under uncertainty specifically with reference to the thick and anisotropic reservoirs in the Lower Tertiary Gulf of Mexico. In this ...
