It covers the fundamental principles concerning how hydraulic fracturing treatments can be used to stimulate oil and gas wells. The material also includes a thorough discussion of fluid/proppant selection and ancillary fracturing topics such as how to perforate for a frac treatment and how to select appropriate diagnostics.
Conclusion
The SPE Conference I recently attended from February 6 to 8, 2012, at the Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel and Convention Center, the Woodlands, Texas, covered shale fracturing, soft rock fracturing, fracture diagnostics, fracture materials, fracture conductivity, fracture modeling and microseismic. A number of innovative products were demonstrated...
In addition, new applications of distributed acoustic sensing of multiple fractures in horizontal wells, and other exciting developments in hydraulic fracturing technologies indicate that interest is increasing and researchers continue to build on the growing body of knowledge concerning hydraulic fracturing. Finally, the studies reviewed and presentations that were attended provided me with a valuable snapshot of the latest in hydraulic fracturing technologies and hard- and digital-copies of the reviewed studies, as well as the others presented at the conference, are available for review by interested individuals.
This 2-day post-conference course provides a sound engineering approach to fracture treatment design. It covers the fundamental principles concerning how hydraulic fracturing treatments can be used to stimulate oil and gas wells.

The SPE Conference I recently attended from February 6 to 8, 2012, at the Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel and Convention Center, the Woodlands, Texas, covered shale fracturing, soft rock fracturing, fracture diagnostics, fracture materials, fracture conductivity, fracture modeling and microseismic. A number of innovative products were demonstrated that hold significant promise for improved three-dimensional modeling. In addition, new applications of distributed acoustic sensing of multiple fractures in horizontal wells, and other exciting developments in hydraulic fracturing technologies indicate that interest is increasing and researchers continue to build on the growing body of knowledge concerning hydraulic fracturing. Finally, the studies reviewed and presentations that were attended provided me with a valuable snapshot of the latest in hydraulic fracturing technologies and hard- and digital-copies of the reviewed studies, as well as the others presented at the conference, are available for review by interested individuals.
The growing opposition to the shale gas industry has conflicted with the need for domestic independence on energy and a reasonable debate is understandably created. Like a Pandora's box, a great and helpful technology has been afforded to the people of this country in the form of hydraulic fracturing, however this technology must be tempered in order for the true and real benefits to be realized. Debate and opposition on
Anthropogenic Technologies Such as Fracking on the Environment The people living in the Midwestern United States and most especially Oklahoma have become increasingly alarmed by the number of earthquakes they have experienced in recent months due to the efforts of the oil and gas industry to extract every last ounce of petroleum from the ground using hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") technologies.. On the one hand, these efforts can be viewed as
Fracking in Colorado Hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") is not a new approach to locating and exploiting gas and oil in the United States. It has been used as a strategy since 1949, according to Earthworks, an environmental group. Fracking is a strategy oil and gas companies use to retrieve quantities of oil and gas that are trapped in shales, coalbed formations and other underground areas that have previously been drilled. The environmental
Legal Issues in Hydraulic Fracturing Energy is major driving factor in all daily activities, from home use to industries. There are various sources of energy, the major one being natural gas and petroleum. Throughout the years, methods of harvesting these forms of energy have been met by many challenges. However, with the advancing steps made in technology as a field, new ways of harvesting the petroleum and gas energy have been
Pennsylvania Act 13? Compare it to Vermont's May 2012 legislation: http://www.leg.state.vt.us/docs/2012/Bills/Intro/H-464.pdf Compare these with the New York State decision on local control of fracking found in Doc Sharing at. The Pennsylvania Act 13 of 2012 provides tougher environmental standards, and authorizes local governments to assess an impact fee on fracking operations but is otherwise intended to facilitate the extraction of natural gas from unconventional sources. The Act's provisions include (a)
Title: Hydraulic Fracturing: Understanding the Controversial Extraction Method Introduction Hydraulic fracturing, also known as fracking, is a controversial method of extracting natural gas and oil from deep underground rock formations. This process involves injecting high-pressure water, sand, and chemicals into shale or other rock formations to create fractures, allowing the trapped gas or oil to flow more freely and be extracted. The use of hydraulic fracturing has sparked intense debate between those who
