Opening-mode fracturing and cementation during hydrocarbon generation in shale: An example from the Barnett Shale, Delaware Basin, West Texas

Journal Article Gale, Julia F. W. ; Fall, András ; Yurchenko, Inessa A. ; ... - AAPG Bulletin

Relative timing of fracturing is a key input for predictive fracture models, but timing information for fractures is commonly difficult to obtain. In this study, we used crosscutting relations and fluid inclusion assemblage temperatures from fracture cements from a few well-documented sampled fractures, combined with a one-dimensional burial history model, to establish timing for three generations of opening-mode fractures in a Barnett Shale core from the southern part of the Delaware Basin, Pecos County, West Texas. A burial history model is presented for the cored well and matched to measured vitrinite reflectance in samples from the core, and bottomhole temperaturemore »« less

Minimizing damage to a propped fracture by controlled flowback procedures

Journal Article Robinson, B M ; Holditch, S A ; Whitehead, W S - J. Pet. Technol.; (United States)

Severe fracture-conductivity damage can result from proppant crushing and/or proppant flowback into the wellbore. Such damage is often concentrated near the wellbore and can directly affect postfracture performance. Most of the time severe fracture-conductivity damage can be minimized by choosing the correct type of proppant for a particular well. In many cases, however, this is not enough. To minimize excessive crushing or to prevent proppant flowback, it is also necessary to control carefully the flowback of the well after the treatment. Specific procedures can be followed to minimize severe fracture-conductivity damage. These procedures involve controlling the rates at which loadmore »« less

Numerical study of the effect of propped surface area and fracture conductivity on shale gas production: Application for multi-size proppant pumping schedule design

Journal Article Bhandakkar, Parth ; Siddhamshetty, Prashanth ; Sang-Il Kwon, Joseph - Journal of Natural Gas Science and Engineering

Hydraulic fracturing is a technique extensively used in the oil and gas industry, where water, proppant (sand) and additives are injected into unconventional reservoirs to enhance the recovery of shale hydrocarbon. Although some previous studies have developed pumping schedules that maximize gas production for a single-size proppant, there are very few studies that consider the effect of varying proppant diameters across pumping stages on shale gas production. Motivated by this, we carried out an extensive sensitivity analysis to determine the effect of different proppant diameters on the average fracture conductivity (FC), average propped surface area (PSA) and cumulative shale gasmore »« less
