This study aimed to maintain a consistent near wellbore stimulation across the lateral, thus focusing on uniform cluster efficiency. Increased cluster spacing appeared to decrease stress shadow effects reflected...

... Abstract The oil and gas industry has been considering treatment and reuse of produced water for hydraulic fracturing of unconventional reservoirs to reduce environmental footprints and economic costs. In this paper, we studied the compatibility of Duvernay flowback and produced water (FPW...

... Abstract Proppant transport is critical in hydraulic fracturing treatments because it directly affects the effective/propped fracture geometries. While much research has been devoted to proppant transport simulation, the popularity of Eulerian-Lagrangian (E-L) models in proppant transport only...

... Abstract Unconventional oil well development is enabled by long horizontal lateral and multistage hydraulic fracturing. Well production tends to peak during the first months, then decline rapidly and produce a more stable flow rate during a longer period, called the trilinear flow regime...
