Abstract The recent and rapid success of using high viscosity friction reducers (HVFRs) in hydraulic fracturing treatments is due to several advantages over other fracture fluids (e.g. linear gel), which include better proppant carrying capability, induce more complex system network with higher length, overall lower costs fewer chemicals less equipment on location. However, some concerns remain, like how HVFRs rheological properties can have impact transport into fractures. objective this...
Abstract Degradable diverters are commonly used in multistage fracturing to increase the number of fractures along wellbore and provide temporary isolation. Still, interpreting effects a diverter downhole remains challenging. In this paper, nonintrusive monitoring technique is presented, which enables on treatments. This relies processing pressure data acquired at high frequency. Unlike other techniques, its deployment straightforward only surface acquisition interpretation algorithms. It...
Abstract Many natural and industrial applications involve non‐Newtonian fluids with high effective viscosity ratios flowing between surfaces with spatial variations in aperture. In particular, hydraulic fracturing operations often require pumping sequences of yield‐stress into a variable‐aperture fracture that initially contains water. Numerical methods for this class problem must deal robustly the aspect ratio flow domain large contrasts while maintaining interfaces immiscible phases. We...
Abstract The Channel Fracturing technique was introduced for multi-stage well stimulation in the Jonah Field 2010. 622 stages have been pumped with this novel since. Production increases by as much 27% (Johnson et al., 2011) realized over conventional completion methodologies. In previous study, each stage flowed back immediately after treatment. successful introduction of prompted a new attempt to optimize practices eliminating immediate flowback necessary step sustain production...
Abstract Well "A" was drilled as a horizontal unstimulated producer in the Kuparuk oil reservoir. Though fracturing considered during design phase, operator wanted to evaluate well's performance without stimulation. The well completed with liner 10 perforated pups spaced evenly along wellbore annular isolation. When production from fell short of expectations, hydraulic considered, but completion limited options effectively stimulate lateral. chosen treatment designed balance maximum...
Abstract Fracture geometry control and increased fracture complexity have been recognized to be critical factors in optimizing unconventional well completion design as preventing detrimental frac hits. A major challenge of far-field diversion slickwater fracturing is ensuring transport material the tip or secondary a low-viscosity fluid. This paper will present novel diverter system for with fluids address these challenges composed an engineered mixture unique ultra-lightweight proppant...
Abstract An operation was conducted to resurrect a shut-in injector and producer pair located in the Kuparuk sandstone formation on North Slope of Alaska. Both wells had been shut for 5 6 years due low injectivity productivity. injection profile modification also required well redirect from heel toe horizontal injector. A plan developed perform propped fracture stimulations both wells. This paper focuses primarily water-alternating-gas (WAG) additional technical complexity performing...
In frames of agreement to consider the annihilation electron-positron pair hadrons cross section be including virtual photon polarization effects a new formulation hadron contribution muon anomalous magnetic moment is suggested. It consists in using experimentally observed converted with known kernels. The lowest order kernel remains same but some modification radiative corrected needed. explicit form this given. We estimate accuracy on level δa^{hadr}_μ/a^{hadr}_μ\sim 10^{-5}.
