An Integrated Fracturing Pressure Diagnostic and CT Scan Approach for Hydraulic Fracture Initiation and Propagation

Summary Hydraulic fracturing was recognized as an effective stimulation technique for hydrocarbon production, especially in unconventional reservoir which the permeability is extremely low. The accurate prediction of hydraulic fracture morphology and containment ensure the successful field operation. The morphology of hydraulic fracture strongly depends on its initiation and propagation process. In hydraulic fracturing treatment of the field,...
