New tools and methods improve production potential
- Halliburton Services, Duncan, OK (United States)
This paper reports that experimental and novel techniques, tools, and data integration can provide cost-effective exploration and development strategies for producing long-term local low-cost gas form Devonian shales. This first of a five-part series will discuss a test program in Roane County, W.Va. in which Columbia Natural Resources (CNR) and divisions of Halliburton Co. combined efforts to develop and test new technologies for producing more gas form tight gas reservoirs. These special technologies include: Core analysis and integrated CT (computerized tomography) imaging; Open hole logging; Downhole extensometer and microfracturing techniques; New surfactants; and Mechanical rock properties logging, oriented perforating rotational radioactive tracer logging, and 3-D fracture modeling used in hydraulic fractures.
