... of fracture process zone around the primary fracture is enhanced by a factor of 2.25 in pre-post breakdown cyclic injection fracturing. Our results provide the laboratory evidence which suggests that cyclic injection hydraulic fracturing has the potential to make field completions more efficient...

... of the microseismicity suggest that the model matches the field data well in the final calibrated model. Figure 2 shows the aperture of the primary fractures from each cluster and the corresponding comparison of seismic moment between the model and field observations for a well-calibrated model. The model seismic moment...

... surface area is exposed, a greater number of organic filled pores and microcracks are crosscut and opened to the production pathway. By using a lighter proppant at greater pumping rates, the most distal fractures will remain open and conductive to the primary fracture, which will pack at lower rates using...

... and natural fractures heal up once the net pressure in the fracture goes below the closure stress and hence reduce the producible region only to the primary fractures. To make the production from the shale plays sustainable over the life of a well, there is a need to make sure that the network of natural...
