Post-treatment horizontal hydraulic fracture modeling with integrated chemical tracer analysis, a case study
… the use of chemical tracers in unconventional hydraulic fracturing operations is relatively new. With the increasing use of chemical tracers in unconventional settings, questions related to the proper execution, interpretation, and integration of chemical tracer tests arise. The first part of …

3D modeling and characterization of hydraulic fracture efficiency integrated with 4D/9C time-lapse seismic interpretations in the Niobrara Formation, Wattenberg field, Denver Basin
… are controlled by the ability to effectively hydraulic fracture stimulate the reservoir using multistage horizontal wells. Subsequent to any mechanical issues that affect production from lateral wells, the variability in production performance and reserve recovery along multistage lateral …

Characterization of anisotropy in organic-rich shales: shear and tensile failure, wave velocity, matrix and fracture permeability
Lamination and fractures are common features in organic-rich shales. The objective of this thesis is to determine the impact of lamination and fractures on elastic properties, shear and tensile failures, and the permeability of organic-rich shales. The elastic properties of rocks determine the …

An integrated peridynamics-finite volume based multi-phase flow, geomechanics and hydraulic fracture model
Hydraulic fracturing in unconventional reservoirs exhibits several interesting phenomena including the interaction of hydraulic fractures with multi-scale heterogeneities such as natural fractures, stress/barrier layers, bedding planes, shale laminations, and mineralogy. Moreover, hydraulic …
