Unconventional Wells Interference: Supervised Machine Learning for Detecting Fracture Hits

open access: yesApplied Sciences
The primary objective of the study was development of a machine learning (ML)-based workflow for fracture hit (“frac hit”) detection and monitoring using shale oil-field data such as drilling surveys, production history (oil and produced water), pressure,

IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF SILICA SAND AS A PROPPANT FOR HYDRAULIC FRACKING INDUSTRY PURPOSES

open access: yesRudarsko-geološko-naftni Zbornik
A technological silica sand sample that belongs to “Egypt’s Future Quarries”, south west Cairo, was investigated as a proppant for the hydraulic fracking industry. The sample showed encouraging physical and mechanical characteristics, yet it was still in

Recycling wastewater for hydraulic fracturing by use of nanofiltration membranes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Hydraulic fracturing creates large volumes of produced water, contaminated with organics, suspended solids, and dissolved minerals. This water must either be disposed of in injection wells or treated for reuse.

Kurz zum Klima: Schiefergas und Fracking

open access: yes, 2012
Das Verfahren zur Gewinnung von Erdgas aus wenig durchlässigem Gestein, das in den USA erfundene und dort bereits weit verbreitete »Hydraulic Fracturing«, kurz Fracking, ist aus Umweltgründen umstritten. Der Beitrag skizziert zunächst die Technologie des

Environmental Justice: Where are the Fracking Sites?

open access: yes, 2012
This paper looks at the variables that determine the location of hydraulic fracturing wells. Using cross-sectional data on Texas counties, we test whether county income level and the percentage of the population that is minority are significant ...
