Case History of Complex-Fracture Behavior in the Hanoi Trough, Vietnam (SPE 67611)

In this paper we present a detailed case history of complex fracture behavior in exploratory wells in the Hanoi Trough, Vietnam. The target formations are stacked fluvial channel deposits that occur at depths of 10,000 to 12,000 ft.

Conductivity Maintenance: Long-Term Results from the Use of Conductivity Enhancement Material (SPE 82241)

In 1997, a surface modification agent was introduced into the global stimulation market. The agent was designed to enhance and sustain fracture conductivity by making the proppant surface tacky. Several conductivity-enhancing mechanisms were suggested.

Holistic Field Evaluations Improve Prospect Opportunities (SPE 88530)

A holistic or overall reservoir performance perspective is seldom used in the well planning/decision process. The industry has a tendency to use broad generalizations along with uncertain interpolated reservoir information.

Infill Drilling in the Moxa Arch: A Case History of the Frontier Formation (SPE 24909)

A case history of the Moxa Arch in southwestern Wyoming details the initial development on 640 acre spacing from 1977 through 1982 and the results of subsequent infill wells drilled from 1989 to 1992.

Hydraulic Fracture Performance in the Moxa Arch Frontier Formation (SPE 25918)

This paper presents a comparison of hydraulic fracture performance during the initial development of the Moxa Arch Frontier sandstone in southwestern Wyoming (1975-85) through infill development in 1989-91 (320 acre spacing) and 1992 (160 acre spacing).

Massive Hydraulic Fracturing Unlocks Deep Tight Gas Reserves in India (SPE 107337)

Tight gas fracturing was pioneered in North America in the 1970’s and 1980’s, and also has a relatively long history in Germany. In the rest of the world, however, massive fracturing for production from tight gas formations (i.e. k < 0.1 mD) has been very rare, due mainly to poor economics, rather than lack of opportunities.

Stimulating Unconventional Reservoirs: Maximizing Network Growth While Optimizing Fracture Conductivity (SPE 114173)

Unconventional reservoirs such as gas shales and tight gas sands require technology-based solutions for optimum development. The successful exploitation of these reservoirs has relied on some combination of horizontal drilling, multi-stage completions, innovative fracturing and fracture mapping to engineer economic completions.

Proppant Conductivity — What Counts and Why (SPE 52219)

The emergence of “accepted” proppant conductivity testing methods has led to much discussion about what is needed to regain high conductivity levels, and several marketing campaigns have been based on these findings.
