(2014-09-30)Operation and service companies in the oil and gas industry have recently deployed Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) technology as a hydraulic fracturing diagnostic tool. However the uses of DAS technology are limited to ...
-
(2013-09-29)Two methods of hydraulic fracturing most widely utilized on unconventional shale gas and oil reservoirs are “gelled fracturing” and “slick-water fracturing”. Both methods utilize up to several million gallons of water-based ...
-
Based on the asymptotic approximation of the diffusivity equation for slightly compressible fluids, our research team looked into its application in early time fracture interference effects and late time reservoir shape ...
-
(2014-10-03)Water shortage has been a challenge in developing hydraulic fracturing in drought-affected areas such as South (Eagle Ford) and West (Permian Basin) Texas. Non-potable groundwater is a potential alternative to fresh water ...
-
(2010-07-14)Alkaline Surfactant Polymer (ASP) process is a tertiary method of oil recovery that has promising results for future development. It has already been implemented in different areas of the United States such as Wyoming, ...
-
(2019-04-22)The increasing demand of air transport has been driving the research interest to reduce the environmental impact of jet fuels combustion. Therefore, in addition to exploring the synthetic alternative jet fuels, nanometer-sized ...
