Tight Gas Sands Research Program: Field Operations and Analysis. Operating GRI's (Gas Research Institute's) Mobile Testing and Control Facility. Annual Report 1986

摘要

In 1986, work in the Gas Research Institute's (GRI) Tight Gas Sands program continued in the Travis Peak formation of East Texas. Four primary wells were included in the field data collection program. These were: (1) the Marshall Exploration Werner Sawmill No. 5, Panola County, Texas; (2) the Arkla Expolration T. P. Scott No. 5, Harrison County, Texas; (3) the Mobil Producing G. E. Cargill No. 14, Harrison County, Texas; and (4) the S. A. Holditch & Associates Howell No. 5, Harrison County, Texas. The Howell No. 5 well was GRI's first Staged Field Experiment which was drilled specifically to conduct research on hydraulic fracturing. The report presents a summary of the work performed during 1986 and includes the results and conclusions obtained from the analysis of wells associated with the program. The authors also provide a status update on new research projects being performed and their plans for cooperative research on wells in the Travis Peak formation during 1987. Also, within the report are brief discussions of geological, coring and logging studies. Because each of these studies are individual projects, the authors do not present all of the data or results. Instead, the reader is referred to specific reports distributed by GRI which discuss these individual subjects in great detail.
