Austin chalk stimulation techniques and design

Conference · · Texas A and M Univ. Bull.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6273325
This study presents design completion techniques being used to stimulate the Austin Chalk Formation in the Giddings field and Gonzales County, Texas. As background information, a history of the Giddings field and development of the Austin Chalk is discussed. The main purpose is to consider factors affecting fracture treatment design, including fracture height, pump rates, types of fracturing fluids, proppant concentrations, and leak-off controls. This is to insure effective and successful stimulation treatment. Possible alternative design considerations for future fracture treatments also are discussed.
