Advancements in Travis Peak Formation Evaluation and Hydraulic Fracture Technology, Staged Field Experiment No. 1, Waskom Field, Harrison County, Texas. Topical Report August 1986-April 1987

摘要

The Gas Research Institute has sponsored research directed toward improving the recovery efficiency and reducing the cost of producing gas from tight reservoirs. To more effectively acquire data and perform research experiments, the concept of Staged Field Experiments (SFE) was developed. SFE No. 1 had specific objectives which included implementing data collection methods which would be structured to benefit the research contractors advancing various formation evaluation and hydraulic fracture technologies. The results of the data acquisition and research are presented and include sections relative to geology, formation evaluation, stress profiling, pre- and post-fracture production testing, hydraulic fracture diagnostics and hydraulic fracture design/control, and reservoir simulation.
