Recent Advances in Hydraulic Fracturing for Enhanced Well Productivity: State of the Art Report
نویسنده
چکیده مقاله:
Hydraulic fracturing of horizontal wells is considered as the main reason for the phenomenal increase in production of oil and gas from marginal and unconventional reservoirs in North America. The process evolution started more than a decade ago and has resulted in ultra-low permeability reservoirs producing at close to the same rates as some of the very prolific reservoirs in the Middle East, North Sea, and elsewhere. Major changes in the technology include the following; Creation of numerous (often more than 100) fractures in a single horizontal well, using tens of thousand cubic meters of fluid mixed with tens of thousand tons of proppant. Development of new completion systems that allow successful execution of these treatments at reasonable times and at affordable costs. Development of new tools that are required for successful utilization of the new completion systems. Examples of these include new developments in coil tubing, wellbore isolation, downhole tools, and the technologies that are required for their use. Changes in fracturing fluid types and mixtures to keep costs within affordable limits while also satisfying some of the social concerns of the general public that have resulted from extensive use of hydraulic fracturing. New fracturing monitoring systems that allow optimum application of hydraulic fracturing for increased well productivity. These have included new tracer technology, microseismic mapping, fiber optic sensors, etc. New management systems that coordinate and integrate operations of multiple contractors each responsible for a different aspect of the operation. Paper will briefly discuss each of these topics and demonstrates their application with examples with actual data.

Municipalities and Hydraulic Fracturing: Trends in State Preemption
Hydraulic fracturing is a technology used to extract natural gas from shale rock formations found deep beneath the earth. It raises many public health and environmental issues of concern to municipalities and planners, both urban and rural. These issues range from potential water contamination and air pollution to noise, dust, truck traffic, and even minor earthquakes. This article identifies r...
متن کاملImproved reagent delivery using hydraulic fracturing during enhanced reductive dechlorination
In-situ remedial strategies that involve the injection of a remedial fluid offer much promise for cost-effectively treating groundwater contaminants such as chlorinated solvent compounds, nitrated explosives, and perchlorate. The successful implementation of many in-situ remediation projects is dependant on the ability to develop an efficient and effective system for the delivery of the necessa...
متن کاملEnergy Analysis of Hydraulic Fracturing
In this paper, numerical simulations of circular boreholes under internal hydraulic pressure are carried out to investigate the energy transferred to the surrounding rock and the breakdown pressure. The simulations are conducted by using a micromechanical continuum damage model proposed by Golshani et al. (2006). The simulation results suggest that the borehole breakdown pressure and the energy...
