ConocoPhillips Co. (COP) comprehensively reviewed stimulation techniques and acid fracturing designs in North Sea chalks to improve its stimulation designs. The choice between matrix acidization, acid ...

Pressure, temperature and fluid composition play an important role in the amount of metals and other chemicals found in wastewaters from hydraulically fractured gas reservoirs, according to ...

Researchers have just released seven technical reports that together form the most comprehensive Michigan-focused resource on hydraulic fracturing, the controversial natural gas and oil extraction ...

Saudi Arabian Oil Co. (Saudi Aramco) has initiated a gas development program that requires acid fracturing wells in the Khuff carbonate reservoir of South Ghawar to deliver 1.2 bcfd of nonassociated ...

The California Council on Science & Technology (“CCST”) recently released its Independent Study of well stimulation in California. The report was prepared for the California Natural Resources Agency ...

Well fracturing (hydraulic or acid fracturing) increases effective permeability by creating high-conductivity fractures that connect the wellbore to a larger rock volume. It sits in the completion and ...

Natural gas production, from hydrocarbon rich shale formations, known as “shale gas,” is one of the most rapidly expanding trends in onshore oil and gas exploration and production today. A key element ...

On Tuesday, January 27, the U.S. Geological Survey released two new publications highlighting historical hydraulic fracturing trends. These publications are the first of their kind: until now, there ...

Well acidizing is a stimulation technique that uses acids to dissolve near-wellbore damage or create conductive channels, lowering skin and improving inflow. It fits in the upstream value chain at the ...
