Geomechanics of Unconventional Reservoirs: Hydraulic Fracturing and Nanoindentation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Geomechanics is the study of the mechanical response of geologic formations subjected to injection, production, and storage of fluids in the subsurface. It plays a role in understanding formation integrity and the response to oil and gas depletion during

Interference fracturing: Nonuniform distributions of perforation clusters that promote simultaneous growth of multiple hydraulic fractures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
One of the important hurdles in horizontal-well stimulation is the generation of hydraulic fractures (HFs) from all perforation clusters within a given stage, despite the challenges posed by stress shadowing and reservoir variability.

An integrated approach to characterize hydraulic fracturing-induced seismicity in shale reservoirs

open access: yes, 2021
There has been a remarkable increase in induced seismicity in Western Canada and the majority of these events can be related to hydraulic fracturing operations applied to develop unconventional reservoirs.

Combination of Pre-Pulse and Constant Pumping Rate Hydraulic Fracturing for Weakening Hard Coal and Rock Mass

open access: yesEnergies, 2020
The weakening of hard coal–rock mass is the core common problem that is involved in the top coal weakening in hard and thick coal seams, the hard roof control during the initial mining stage in the longwall mining face, and the hanging roof control in ...

The politics of hydraulic fracturing in Germany : party competition at different levels of government

open access: yes, 2016
Hydraulic fracturing has been practiced in Germany for decades, and several attempts have been made to legalize and regulate new drilling methods, which eventually led to the approval of a law to effectively ban this activity in 2016.

Determination of stress state in deep subsea formation by combination of hydraulic fracturing in situ test and core analysis: A case study in the IODP Expedition 319

open access: yes, 2013
[1] In situ test of hydraulic fracturing (HF) provides the only way to observe in situ stress magnitudes directly. The maximum and minimum horizontal stresses, SHmax and Shmin, are determined from critical borehole pressures, i.e., the reopening pressure

Analysis of geological factors affecting propagation behavior of fracture during hydraulic fracturing shale formation

open access: yesGeomechanics and Geophysics for Geo-Energy and Geo-Resources
The complexity of hydraulic fracture network generation during the fracturing of shale reservoirs is a key indicator of the effectiveness of fracture stimulation.
