Abstract

An electrophilic acid gas-reactive fracturing fluid, proppant, and process are detailed. The fluid expands in volume to provide rapid and controlled increases in pressure that enhances fracturing in subterranean bedrock for recovery of energy-producing materials. The proppant stabilizes fracture openings in the bedrock to enhance recovery of energy-producing materials.

Electrophilic acid gas-reactive fluid, proppant, and process for enhanced fracturing and recovery of energy producing materials

Patent Fernandez, Carlos A. ; Heldebrant, David J. ; Bonneville, Alain H. R. ; ...

An electrophilic acid gas-reactive fracturing and recovery fluid, proppant, and process are detailed. The fluid expands in volume to provide rapid and controlled increases in pressure that enhances fracturing in subterranean bedrock for recovery of energy-producing materials. Proppants stabilize openings in fractures and fissures following fracturing.

Propagation, proppant transport and the evolution of transport properties of hydraulic fractures

Journal Article Wang, Jiehao ; Elsworth, Derek ; Denison, Martin K. - Journal of Fluid Mechanics

Hydraulic fracturing is a widely used method for well stimulation to enhance hydrocarbon recovery. Permeability, or fluid conductivity, of the hydraulic fracture is a key parameter to determine the fluid production rate, and is principally conditioned by fracture geometry and the distribution of the encased proppant. A numerical model is developed to describe proppant transport within a propagating blade-shaped fracture towards defining the fracture conductivity and reservoir production after fracture closure. Fracture propagation is formulated based on the PKN-formalism coupled with advective transport of an equivalent slurry representing a proppant-laden fluid. Empirical constitutive relations are incorporated to define rheology ofmore »« less

Controlled pulse and peroxide fracturing combined with a metal containing proppant

Patent Stowe, L R

A method is described for fracturing a subterranean formation penetrated by at least one well which extends from the surface of the earth to the formation comprising: (a) placing into a well near the productive interval a means for fracturing the formation by a pressure loading rate sufficient to create multiple fractions; (b) maintaining the peak pressure load sufficiently above the in-situ stress pressure but below the rock yield stress for a time sufficient to allow fluid penetration and extension of fractures; (c) inserting into the fractures, a proppant having mixed therein at least one metal value sufficient to reactmore »« less
Alternative, Less Water-Intensive, Fracturing Fluids for Enhanced Geothermal Systems

Conference Jian, Guoqing ; Fernandez, Carlos A. ; Burghardt, Jeffrey A. ; ...

Four fracturing fluids; water, CO2, CO2 with water, and CO2 with an aqueous solution of a CO2-reactive polymer, poly(allylamine) (PAA, 1wt%) were evaluated using a high-temperature true-triaxial fracturing apparatus and ½ foot side granite cubic samples. All three CO2-based fracturing fluids, CO2, CO2 with water, and CO2 with aqueous PAA fractured granite at higher breakdown pressures, high transient flow rates, and produce higher-conductivity fractures as compared to water. Additionally, faster pressurization rates with CO2-based fracturing fluids (obtained when fracturing at constant flow rate mode) are found to be associated with higher fracture conductivities. When partially saturating the rock sample withmore »« less
Improved Drainage of Sand Pack Enhances Fracturing Fluid Recovery and Increases Production

Conference Phillips, A M ; Wilson, W J - Soc. Pet. Eng. AIME, Pap.; (United States)

A technique for improving stimulation fluid recovery has been developed in the laboratory and has proven effective in field applications. The method involves improving proppant pack drainage and minimizing capillary pressure in the formation through the judicious application of surface active agents. The technique is particularly applicable in low pressure oil wells and tight gas reservoirs, and may be used in all aqueous fracturing treatments. These include slick and gelled water, as well as foamed and crosslinked systems. The technique involves the use of a solvent in the pad fluids and a surfactant system throughout the entire fracturing treatment. Thismore »« less
