Chevron USA Inc. developed an extended embedded discrete fracture model (EDFM) which combines parent-well flow simulation with updated reservoir stress fields to predict growth of child-well fracture ...

Based on “Innovative Modeling to Quantify the Impact of Natural Fractures, Optimize Well Spacing and Increase Productivity in the Marcellus Shale,” URTeC 5271, Unconventional Resources Technology ...

Applications are being accepted for a fully funded PhD position at the University of Auckland on fracture and recharge modeling in superhot geothermal systems.

Reservoir modeling integrates geology, petrophysics, geophysics, PVT, and production data into a predictive, physics-based model to forecast fluid flow and optimize field development and operations.

Previous chapters have addressed fracture geometry, physical and geomechanical properties of single fractures, fracture detection, and the interpretation of hydraulic and tracer tests. All of these ...

More information has been released about plans for a lower-volume frack at the West Newton A oil and gas site in East ...
