Title: Stimulation techniques used in the Austin Chalk

Conference · · Proc. Annu. Southwest. Pet. Short Course; (United States)
OSTI ID:5810096

The object of this work is to discuss the most widely used stimulation techniques employed in the Austin Chalk formation in S. Texas. Although this trend has been explored for years and continues to be one of the most active in the country, there remains a difference of opinion over how to effectively stimulate this reservoir. Several schools of thought regarding types of fluids, additives, and general treating techniques are examined. The fracture geometry of various treatments as predicted by pre-treatment computer designs are compared to the parameters obtained from post-frac analysis.
