Massive frac-pumping equipment in a modern Marcellus shale project. On September 7, 2022, NSI Technologies arranged a public Vimeo session with three Fracking Legends selected by the Society of ...

At-a-Glance: Offshore well stimulation restores or enhances inflow by removing near-wellbore damage or creating conductive paths via matrix acidizing, acid/proppant fracturing, solvent and scale ...

The petroleum industry must predict pore-pressure profiles accurately, often walking a fine line between pore pressure and fracture gradient as it drills and completes oil and gas wells. The industry ...

Hydraulic fracturing is a completion technique that pumps high-pressure fluid and proppant into a low-permeability reservoir to create and prop open fractures, increasing flow paths so oil can move to ...

Minimum fracture pressure in the 5 5/8-in. reservoir section was in the 1.10-1.30 specific gravity (sg) equivalent mud weight (EMW) range, and risk of losses was high. Overburden stress in weak zones ...
