ConocoPhillips Co. (COP) comprehensively reviewed stimulation techniques and acid fracturing designs in North Sea chalks to improve its stimulation designs. The choice between matrix acidization, acid ...

Pressure, temperature and fluid composition play an important role in the amount of metals and other chemicals found in wastewaters from hydraulically fractured gas reservoirs, according to ...

Researchers have just released seven technical reports that together form the most comprehensive Michigan-focused resource on hydraulic fracturing, the controversial natural gas and oil extraction ...

Newspaper articles and television reports make hydraulic fracturing appear to be a new technology that pollutes drinking water, causes flames to leap from kitchen faucets, and constitutes the next ...

At-a-Glance: Offshore well stimulation restores or enhances inflow by removing near-wellbore damage or creating conductive paths via matrix acidizing, acid/proppant fracturing, solvent and scale ...

Well fracturing (hydraulic or acid fracturing) increases effective permeability by creating high-conductivity fractures that connect the wellbore to a larger rock volume. It sits in the completion and ...

Natural gas production, from hydrocarbon rich shale formations, known as “shale gas,” is one of the most rapidly expanding trends in onshore oil and gas exploration and production today. A key element ...
