Objectives/Scope: The objective of this paper is to provide a comprehensive review of
fracture-driven interaction (FDI) in unconventional oil and gas plays. This review aims to …

Shale field operators have vested interest in optimal spacing of infill wells and further
fracture optimization, which ideally should have as little interference with the existing wells …

Due to the decrease in commodity prices in a constantly dynamic environment, there has
been a constant urge to maximize benefits and attain value from limited resources …

Optimizing spacing of infill wells and fractures can lead to large rewards for shale field
operators, and these considerations have influences on primary and tertiary development of …

The results of numerical simulations of hydraulic fracturing based on the concept of lattice, a
grain based method, are presented. Five cases of numerical simulations were conducted to …

Hydrocarbon recovery from unconventional reservoirs (UR) depends strongly upon
hydraulically conductive fracture pathways connecting isolated pores of the UR with the …

Shale field developmentfinds significant challenges when operators have to define optimal
spacing of infill wells and further fracture optimization, based on biased understanding of the …

Hydraulic fracturing is a vital tool in enhancing oil and gas production and geothermal
energy. The fracturing process entitles the effects of the multiphysics on the final fracture …

Current exploration trends in unconventional reservoirs involve multiple extensive laterals
drilled from a common well pad. These laterals are typically stimulated in tens of treatment …

For unconventional shale reservoirs, understanding the relationship between well spacing,
fracture dimensions and extensions are key components for achieve optimal oil and gas …
