In-situ stress impact on hydraulic fracturing is investigated to enhance hydraulic fracturing performance. Lithology-controlled lower and upper bounds of the horizontal stresses are …
Accurate knowledge of pore and fracture pressures is essential for drilling wells safely with the desired mud weight (MW). Overpressure occurs when the pore pressure is higher than …
The precise prediction of the break-down pressure is imperative to define the pumping schedule and the relevant stimulation parameters of a hydraulic fracturing process. A …
CO 2 has been successfully sequestered in aquifers at shallow water depth as supercritical CO 2. However, at a water depth larger than 630 m in tropical regions, there exists a hydrate …
Abstract The Delaware Basin in west Texas and southeast New Mexico is now the largest global oil producing basin, averaging∼ 400,000 m 3 (∼ 2,500,000 barrels) per day in 2022 …
