Viscoelastic measurements of fracturing fluids for proppant transport application.
(2001)
One of the primary functions of a fracturing fluid is to transport and distribute proppant through a fracture and to keep the particles suspended till reservoir closes on the fracture. The proppant when suspended and ...
Hydraulic fracturing of poorly consolidated formations: Considerations on rock properties and failure mechanisms.
(2005)
This dissertation addresses the issue of hydraulic fracturing stimulation of poorly consolidated formations. First, a complete review about the mechanical properties of such formations was performed. Typical ranges of ...
Laboratory imaging of hydraulic fractures using microseismicity.
(2002)
Developing robust algorithms and software for locating the coordinates of hydraulic fracturing-induced microseismic events, and for simulating the first motion of the induced waveforms were central tasks for this research. ...
Application of PEBI grid simulation to analyze pressure-transient behavior of hydraulically fractured vertical wells.
(2002)
Because of their flexibility while handling non-orthogonal systems, in this study, PEBI grids, implemented in a commercial simulator were employed to solve the mathematical models. However, it was first necessary to study ...
