... in unconventional reservoir completions. Fiber optic (FO) techniques are gaining confidence among researchers for a better understanding of fracture diagnostics, visualization of the created hydraulic fractures, and identifying the proppant placement in the deep formation. Several notable outcomes have been...

... incremental cost of adding a refrac stage. Proppant tracers and chemical tracers were used to understand the stimulation and diversion effectiveness and evaluate the incremental production gained from the new heel and refrac stages. In this study, comprehensive post-job hydraulic fracture diagnostics were...

... demonstrated that water hammer simulations can provide valuable fracture diagnostic information which compliments other diagnostic methods such as microseismicity and long-term production. Intitletroduction A pressure pulse is created when the fluid flow in a pipe is suddenly shut-in. This fluctuation...
