Evaluating Stimulation Effectiveness in Unconventional Gas Reservoirs (SPE 124843)
This paper presents production evaluation criteria that can be used to compare the overall stimulation effectiveness in unconventional gas reservoirs. Characterizing the “relative” conductivity of the fracture network and primary fracture are critical to evaluating stimulation performance. Read the complete resource

Successful Modelling of Post-Fracture Cleanup in a Layered Tight Gas Reservoir (SPE 122021)
The issue of filtrate cleanup in tight-gas wells following a hydraulic fracture treatment has long been a topic of discussion in the industry. At one extreme, there is the possibility of a “water block” in which filtrate fluid prevents gas production completely. Read the complete resource

Southern North Sea Tight-Gas Field Development Planning Using Hydraulic Fracturing (SPE 121680)
This paper presents an overview of the subsurface economic and technical issues involved in developing a Southern North Sea (SNS) tight gas field using hydraulic fracturing. Read the complete resource

Geomechanics for Interpreting SAGD Monitoring Using Micro-Seismicity and Surface Tiltmeters (SPE 117688)
We have modeled the warm-up phase of a SAGD project using a coupled reservoir simulator and stress model. We matched the injection pressure by adjusting the reservoir permeability. A fair match between data and model was obtained.Read the complete resource

Determination of Fracture Azimuth in Palnikovskoye Field Western Siberia Using Tiltmeter Technology (Russian) (SPE 117097)
Knowing the direction or azimuth of the fracture orientation is important in development of a low permeability reservoir with horizontal wellbores. The orientation of the horizontal wellbore will determine if the hydraulic fractures are longitudinal or transverse to the wellbore. Read the complete resource

Far-Field Volumetric Distribution of Fracturing Fluids Away From an Uncemented Horizontal Liner in the Bakken Formation (SPE 115826)
The Middle Bakken member of the Bakken series in the Williston Basin is sometimes completed with horizontal open holes, or with horizontal uncemented liners. Read the complete resource

Well Productivity In North Sea Chalks Related To Completion And Hydraulic Fracture Stimulation Practices (SPE 107793)
The Joint Chalk Research (JCR) initiative is set up by a group of operators and partners in the Southern North Sea. The objective of the initiative is to increase the ultimate recovery in their respective chalk assets to 60%. Read the complete resource

Robust Technique for Real-Time Closure Stress Determination (SPE 30503)
To achieve credible engineering estimates of fracture geometry, fluid efficiency, and potential risks of premature screen-out, the engineer must reliably history match the observed net-fracturing pressure. Read the complete resource
