Results of a 1995 hydraulic fracturing survey and a comparison of 1995 and 1990 industry practices
This paper presents the results of a hydraulic fracturing survey conducted in 1995 on behalf of the Gas Research institute (GRI). The purpose of the survey was to determine the types of formations that are normally fracture treated; gather data on the fracture treatments that are normally pumped; determine the level of data collection being conducted in the field; determine the level of data analysis being conducted in the office and the field; solicit opinions on the level of technology required to obtain an accurate analysis for fracture treatments; solicit opinions of the limitations of current technology; determine what costs operators could justify to analyze fracture treatment data and obtain ideas on new areas of research. Data gathered in the survey included respondents company size (major, large/small independent, service company or consultant), geographical area of operation, well depths and permeabilities, fracture treatment size, proppant type and volume, level of detail in data gathering, fracture treatment design and real-time analysis. The 1995 data were compared to a similar survey conducted in 1990 by GRI to determine technology trends.
