The paper provides Amoco's current understanding of fracturing in the East Texas Cotton Valley Sands, outlines the massive hydraulic fracture (MHF) procedure used by Amoco, and documents the changes in the company's MHF stimulation designs in recent years. The subjects discussed include geology and reservoir properties; the effect of fracture length on gas recovery; leak-off control; pump rate scheduling; proppant scheduling; gel selection; quality control; and equipment layout. Conclusions and/or recommendations relating to each subject are given aiming at more efficient MHF stimulations and increased gas recovery per well. 6 refs.
