In this SPE Tech Talk with SLB, we discuss the role of data integration in optimizing hydraulic fracturing processes, enabling precise execution, maximizing effectiveness and minimizing environmental impact.

Introduces fundamental concepts of hydraulic fracturing and describes the tools, equipment, materials and procedures involved in hydraulic fracturing treatments. Discusses theoretical and practical aspects of job design, execution and evaluation, including case studies and examples of successful treatments. Duration: 6 hours, 30 minutes Content: Hydraulic Fracturing Fundamentals Hydraulic Fracturing Fluids Proppants Fracturing Equipment and Operations Fracture Treatment Design Hydraulic Fracturing Treatment Evaluation

Diagnose production problems related to formation damage and recommend appropriate solutions. Upon completion of this module, the participant should be able to: diagnose various types of formation damage and identify stimulation candidates, design a matrix acid stimulation treatment based on specific well conditions and reservoir characteristics, specify the materials, equipment and pumping schedule for a hydraulic fracturing procedure, and apply traditional and modern sand control methods to optimize well productivity.

In this SPE Tech Talk with Jereh, we discuss the ways e-frac equipment can improve overall reliability and contribute to a broader ESG strategy.

Join us for an SPE Live episode on “Innovation in Hydraulic Fracturing” with a preview of the SPE Hydraulic Fracturing Technology Conference and E

The presentation reviews the results of taking three 40/70 mesh proppants commonly used for multi-stage horizontal well slickwater completions in North America and testing them at 0.5 lb/ft2 over 1000 hours of "extended time” at stress and temperature conditions representative of the Bakken formation of North Dakota. The results presented give a clear insight into the degree of damage occurring in the reservoir due to time at stress and temperature.

Evaluating the impact of completion/frac design and other factors on multi-fractured horizontal well

The share of multistage fractured wells in unconventional, hard-to-recover oil and gas reserves is constantly expanding. As s

Join us for this SPE Tech Talk with NexTier Completions Solutions to discuss how understanding water quality and conducting appropriate pre-job testing enables the development of tailored chemical plans to optimize frac efficiency, well production, and produced water usage. 

This video was recorded during SPE Hydraulic Fracturing Technical Section July 2023 Webinar. Stephen Schubarth discusses the similarities between all unconventional, multi-stage well decline curves. The different flow regimes and how to utilize this information to characterize reservoir permeability and completion success. 

In this SPE Tech Talk, hear from two experts as they share how TFS’ new maintenance-free technology is helping increase productivity, reduce grease needs, improve safety, and reduce emissions in oil and gas operations.

In this Tech Talk, we discuss the subject of Data Validity: the extent to which data accurately reflects reality, and the impact it may have on decisions that are based upon data.

Refracturing is an opportunity for EUR enhancement within an existing wellbore. The concept can be appealing for an operator to obtain production uplift without the higher costs associated with drilling the well. In addition, operators have partially de-risked the reservoir position since well production history is known. So, is it really that simple? Don't miss this SPE Tech Talk with Universal Pressure Pumping as we discuss optimal use cases for refrac consideration.

Understanding how hydraulic fractures propagate, where the proppant ends up, and how they connect with the reservoir is fundamental to designing effec
