Title: Hydraulic fracture growth during steam stimulation in a single-well test

Conference · · Soc. Pet. Eng. AIME, Pap.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6413964

Ground deformation was monitored for nearly ten weeks during the first cycle of steam stimulation in a single-well test using an array of high-resolution borehole tiltmeters. Ground response indicated that steam injection was not a continuous process, but rather was characterized by numerous episodic events. The magnitudes of the pressure and deformation changes varied from event to event, apparently unsystematically.
