    摘要: The invention relates to methods and apparatus for creating multiple fractures in subterranean formations. The apparatus is a jetting tool having a plurality of sets of jetting nozzles so that the sets of nozzles are substantially parallel to one another such that parallel cavities may be formed substantially simultaneously in the formation. The jetting nozzles may be adapted to provide a fluid jet that flares outwardly from the nozzle. The nozzles also may be aligned such that cavities in the formation overlap to form a single cavity. The nozzles may be further adapted so that holes jetted into the casing thereby are still spaced from one another. Methods of fracturing subterranean formations using the apparatus are also disclosed.

    摘要: A bottomhole assembly (BHA) and method for stimulating a well includes setting a packer of the BHA in a wellbore. The BHA includes the packer and a jetting tool coupled to a tubing string. Process fluid is pumped down the tubing string and jetted with the jetting tool to perforate a formation. Stimulation process fluid is pumped down an annulus of the wellbore to fracture the formation.

    摘要: Methods of initiating a fracture tip screenout, that comprise pumping an annulus fluid into an annulus, between the subterranean formation and a work string disposed within a wellbore penetrating the subterranean formation, at an annulus flow rate; and reducing the annulus flow rate below a fracture initiation flow point so that the fracture tip screenout is initiated in the one or more fractures in the subterranean formation, are provided. Also provided are methods of fracturing a portion of a subterranean formation and methods of estimating a fracture initiation flow point.

    摘要: Methods for stabilizing portions of a subterranean formation and controlling the production of water from those subterranean formations. In one embodiment, the methods of the present invention comprise: providing a consolidating agent; introducing the consolidating agent into an unconsolidated portion of a subterranean formation using a fluid diversion tool; allowing the consolidating agent to at least partially consolidate the unconsolidated portion of the subterranean formation; providing a relative permeability modifier; introducing the relative permeability modifier into the subterranean formation using a fluid diversion tool; and allowing the relative permeability modifier to modify the relative permeability of at least a portion of the subterranean formation.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to a method for producing gas from a subterranean formation containing a coal seam. The method includes the steps of drilling a substantially vertical well bore into the subterranean formation, which intersects the coal seam and fracturing the coal seam using a hydrajetting tool to produce at least one pair of opposed bi-wing fractures substantially along a plane of maximum stress. One or more horizontal well bores may also be drilled into the coal seam along which the coal seam can be further fractured.
