The influence on casing stress for shale gas fracturing wells considering thermo-pressure coupling effect
The casing deformation problems are presented over 36 wells (among 112 horizontal wells by 2016) during fracturing processes in Weiyuan-Changning shale gas play in China.1 Subsequent tools could be blocked in the wellbore.2–4 The segments with serious deformation had to be abandoned before completing fracturing operations.5 The casing deformation issues make a great influence on production of s...
متن کاملStudy of gas production from shale reservoirs with multi-stage hydraulic fracturing horizontal well considering multiple transport mechanisms
Development of unconventional shale gas reservoirs (SGRs) has been boosted by the advancements in two key technologies: horizontal drilling and multi-stage hydraulic fracturing. A large number of multi-stage fractured horizontal wells (MsFHW) have been drilled to enhance reservoir production performance. Gas flow in SGRs is a multi-mechanism process, including: desorption, diffusion, and non-Da...
متن کاملOrganic compounds in produced waters from shale gas wells.
A detailed analysis is reported of the organic composition of produced water samples from typical shale gas wells in the Marcellus (PA), Eagle Ford (TX), and Barnett (NM) formations. The quality of shale gas produced (and frac flowback) waters is a current environmental concern and disposal problem for producers. Re-use of produced water for hydraulic fracturing is being encouraged; however, kn...
متن کاملPredicting Productivity of Multiple-Fractured Horizontal Gas Wells
In low-permeability gas reservoirs, horizontal wells have been used to increase the reservoir contact area, and hydraulic fracturing has been further extending the contact between wellbores and reservoirs. This paper presents an approach to evaluate horizontal well performance for fractured or unfractured gas wells, and a sensitivity study of gas well performance in low permeability formation. ...
متن کاملIncreased stray gas abundance in a subset of drinking water wells near Marcellus shale gas extraction.
Horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing are transforming energy production, but their potential environmental effects remain controversial. We analyzed 141 drinking water wells across the Appalachian Plateaus physiographic province of northeastern Pennsylvania, examining natural gas concentrations and isotopic signatures with proximity to shale gas wells. Methane was detected in 82% of dri...
