(2016-07-14)The aim of this study was to develop an understanding of the Eagle Ford shale unpropped and propped fracture conductivity. Samples were collected at Antonio Creek and Lozier Canyon. Both outcrops are several hundred feet ...
-
(2023-08-17)The primary focus of this thesis is to summarize a workflow that leverages 3D printing to generate repeatable rock conductivity samples, reducing uncertainty associated with experimental results. Study results illustrate ...
-
(2016-05-04)Unconventional reservoirs have become increasingly possible and economical due to the advances of hydraulic fracturing, a stimulation technique that creates highly conductive fractures that serve as pathways for hydrocarbons ...
-
(2014-07-25)Hydraulic fracturing is a well completions technique that induces a network of flow channels in a reservoir. These channels are characterized by fracture conductivity, a measure of how easily a liquid or gas flows through ...
-
(2015-08-07)The closed fracture acidizing (CFA) technique is designed to overcome inadequate conductivity development in traditional acid fracturing treatments. However, achieving adequate fracture length is challenging due to the ...
