High-energy gas fracturing proved effective for stimulation of two wells producing gas from sandstone reservoirs in central Lake Erie. This paper reports on a controlled propellant deflagration that is used in the high-energy gas fracturing (HEGF) technique. The two test wells had perforated gas pay with permeabilities in the range of 4-27 md. Past stimulation programs in the area generally included hydraulic fracturing that often led to increased water production. The HEGF program was designed specifically to reduce well bore damage incurred by drilling and cementing, without the risk of fracturing out-of-zone into water.
