Tight Gas Sands Research Program: Field Operations and Analysis. Staged Field Experiment No. 3. Post-Fracture Pressure Buildup Analysis. Topical Report, April 10-May 8, 1991.

摘要

Staged Field Experiment (SFE) No. 3 was implemented as a means to develop and test technologies related to hydraulic fracturing in the Travis Peak and Cotton Valley formations located in the East Texas Basin. SFE No. 3 provided an ideal laboratory for the verification of some of these technologies, especially in the area of post-fracture analysis. The purpose of the report is to summarize the results of analyses conducted on a second extended post-fracture buildup test. A comparison is also made to the results obtained from the initial post-fracture buildup test.
