ConocoPhillips Co. (COP) comprehensively reviewed stimulation techniques and acid fracturing designs in North Sea chalks to improve its stimulation designs. The choice between matrix acidization, acid ...

Pressure, temperature and fluid composition play an important role in the amount of metals and other chemicals found in wastewaters from hydraulically fractured gas reservoirs, according to ...

Today, hydraulic fracturing companies possess a variety of complex fluids and additives designed to provide customized properties for each well with the goal to provide specific viscosities and ...

Assumptions (estimated): onshore vertical or moderately deviated oil/gas well; reservoir depth 2,000–3,000 m; stimulation type selected based on rock type (matrix acid for carbonates, HF/Mud acid for ...

The California Council on Science & Technology (“CCST”) recently released its Independent Study of well stimulation in California. The report was prepared for the California Natural Resources Agency ...

Researchers have just released seven technical reports that together form the most comprehensive Michigan-focused resource on hydraulic fracturing, the controversial natural gas and oil extraction ...

Well fracturing (hydraulic or acid fracturing) increases effective permeability by creating high-conductivity fractures that connect the wellbore to a larger rock volume. It sits in the completion and ...
