Reservoir stimulation and artificial lift are the two main activities of the production engineer
in the petroleum and related industries. The main purpose of stimulation is to enhance the …

This book explains how to properly engineer and optimize a hydraulically fractured well by
selecting the right materials, evaluating the economic benefits, and ensuring the safety and …

Premature screen-outs and/or low proppant concentration are the most likely cause of failure
in hydraulic fracturing treatments. Although commonly blamed on a variety of presumed …

Hydraulic fracturing of certain low permeability, gas shales is performed by injecting tens of
thousands of barrels of water and several hundred thousand pounds of proppant at …

Рассмотрен один из эффективных методов повышения продуктивности скважин,
вскрывающих низкопроницаемые, слабодренируемые, неоднородные и расчлененные …

Hydraulic fracturing is an important technology for the development of unconventional oil
and gas. The complexity and filling of fractures are important factors for determining the …

(57) ABSTRACT A method for assessing the fracture pressure closure is proposed. This
method includes first injecting a fluid into the formation at a first generally constant rate Q to …

Hydraulic fracturing is an important measurement for the stimulation of oil and gas wells and
is widely used in the development of low-permeability and ultra-low-permeability reservoirs …

The problem of steady state fluid production from a hydraulic fracture subject to remote
compressive stresses is considered. The fracture is partially filled with proppant and the …

Fracture height growth can be contained by selective placement of a low mobility bed of
proppant along the upper and the lower tips of a propagating hydraulic fracture, while …
