Recommended Flowback Procedures (Best Practice)
A complete review of the reservoir and fracturing treatment needs to be made before developing a flowback procedure. The most critical parameters to consider are water sensitivity of formation, closure stress, proppant type used, fracture geometry, and typ

Fracture Acidizing
The main objective of a stimulation treatment is to increase the rate at which the formation delivers hydrocarbons naturally. When a customer decides to stimulate a particular well, as much information as possible about that formation and wellbore configur

Fluid-Loss Additives
The leakoff characteristics of a fracturing fluid are an important parameter in the design and execution of a hydraulic fracturing treatment. Reducing the amount of fracturing fluid that leaks off into the formation during a treatment will increase the fra

Effective Sandstone Acidizing
Sandstone acidizing technology has improved significantly over the last 5 years as a result of field analysis, fundamental research, and applied research. Older theories predicted that after sandstone acidization, approximately 10% HCl, approximately 3,500

Diversion in Matrix-Acidizing Treatments
The success of matrix acidizing treatments depends on the placement of acid to remove near-wellbore formation damage effeciently. The acid should be placed so that all potentially productive intervals accept a sufficient quantity of the total acid volume.

Scale Prevention
Scale is a solid mineral deposit usually formed from produced salt water. Because water constantly dissolves and deposits solids, scale is an endless problem in the petroleum industry. Scale occurs in primary production wells, secondary wells, injection we

Bacteria Problems in Fracturing Gels
Bacteria have a long history of causing viscosity instability in batch mixed gels. In fact,
when in a favorable environment, sufficient numbers of bacteria can be the chief cause of
gel degradation.
