SummaryThe prevailing approach for hydraulic-fracture modeling relies on linear-elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM). Generally, LEFM that uses stress-intensity factor at the fracture tip gives reasonable predictions for hard-rock hydraulic-fracturing p

Shale gas formations have become a major source of energy in recent years. Developments in hydraulic fracturing technology have made these reservoirs more accessible and productive. Apart from other dissimilarities from conventional gas reservoirs, o

Almost always oil production is accompanied by the surface production of associated gas. In the case of under-saturated reservoirs where the gas–oil-ratio (GOR) is expected to be relatively constant, the gas production rate from the field is expect

Optimization has taken several different hues in all areas of engineering. Hydraulic fracturing, as applied to petroleum wells, has had its share. In the past, and before the maturing of high-permeability fracturing and the tip screen out techniques,

Since the beginning of the oil and gas industry, product (commonly known as “pipe dope” in the vernacular) has been used to join the threaded connections of tubing and casing tubes. These compounds can carry from 19% to 25% of heavy inorganic par

The volumes of natural gas that are needed for a wide variety of industrial processes plus domestic uses vary significantly with respect to time, location, and demand. Thus, mechanical storage of natural gas in manufactured containers is not economic

Unified Fracture Design (UFD) is a methodology for the design of optimal hydraulic fracturing treatments to maximize well performance. Many successful applications of UFD have been demonstrated for reservoirs with low to high permeability. However, U

In January 2011 the refrain was “$5 natural gas forever,” based on the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s (EIA) annual outlook, which argued that natural gas prices will remain below $5 per million Btu until 2022. The underlying rationale

Summary Technologies for horizontal-well fracturing in China include multistaged fracturing and hydraulic jetting. As in many other parts of the world, this type of well stimulation employs mechanical zonal isolation or sand and polymer plugs. All of
