Automatic picking and classification of acoustic emission event arrivals
(2010)
Accurate automatic classification and picking of arrival times of events from acoustic emission (AE) signals is of considerable importance for rapid identification and location of seismic events. Due to the large number ...
Synergistic interactions of xanthan and guar gum polymers
(2015)
Polymers such as xanthan and guar gum are widely used in the oilfield and food industry as viscosifiers. In hydraulic fracturing operation, guar gum polymer solution is used as fracturing fluid to create fracture in a ...
ORGANIC-RICH SHALE TENSILE STRENGTH MODELING
(2016-05-13)
Shale mechanical characterization is an expensive and time intensive lab and field exercise. Experimental observations in lab shale characterization have shown some relation (linear or non-linear) between fracture toughness ...
Microseismic mapping of fluid induced hydraulic fractures and analysis of location uncertainties
(2011)
Microseismic monitoring of hydraulic fractures is done to yield spatial and temporal plots of hypocenters. There are rendered without any estimates of uncertainty leading the engineer to believe the hypocenter locations ...
