摘要:
The invention discloses a tool for use in a wellbore, comprising: a tubular elongated member; openings on the tubular member able to be close with a valve or a sleeve; swellable packers positioned between said opening on the tubular member; and a control unit; the control unit operating the valve or sleeve for fracturing a subterranean formation in a wellbore, in the stages: a. fracturing the subterranean formation through a first stage at predefined first locations; and b. fracturing the subterranean formation through a second stage at second location(s) wherein each location from the second location(s) is localized between the predefined first locations.

Embodiments of the invention relate to a method of treating a subterranean formation comprising shale comprising forming a fluid comprising potassium acetate, and introducing the fluid to a surface of the subterranean formation comprising shale, wherein geomechanical weakening of the formation is lower than if the formation were not in contact with the fluid. Embodiments of the invention relate to a method of treating a subterranean formation comprising shale, comprising forming a fluid comprising potassium chloride and ammonium acetate; and introducing the fluid to a surface of the subterranean formation comprising shale, wherein geomechanical weakening of the formation is lower than if the formation were not in contact with the fluid.
摘要:
Example in-situ stress measurements in hydrocarbon bearing shales are disclosed. A disclosed example method includes lowering a downhole tool into a wellbore penetrating a subterranean shale formation, logging via the downhole tool, a portion of the wellbore adjacent the shale formation to generate logging results, processing the logging results to select test intervals along the portion of the wellbore, performing a stress test at one or more of the selected test intervals to generate stress test results for the shale formation, and adjusting a model representing at least one property of the shale formation based on the stress test results.
摘要:
A method for calculating transmissibility, pore pressure, permeability and/or other properties of a subsurface layer comprising the modeling of the borehole pressure recorded from the time the subsurface layer is fractured by isolating said subsurface layer with a downhole tool, pumping fluid into the subsurface layer and stopping pumping said fluid once the formation is fractured until a pseudo-radial or pseudo-linear flow is reached. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract which will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.
摘要:
Methods of making and using wellbore casing are described, one method comprising providing a plurality of flow-through passages in a portion of a casing while the casing is out of hole; temporarily plugging the flow-through passages with a composition while out of hole; running the casing in hole in a wellbore intersecting a hydrocarbon-bearing formation; and exposing the composition to conditions sufficient to displace the composition from the flow-through passages while in hole. Methods of using the casing may include pumping a stimulation treatment fluid through the casing string and into a formation through the flow-through passages in the first casing joint; plugging the flow-through passages in the first casing section; and exposing a second casing joint of the casing string to conditions sufficient to displace the composition from the flow-through passages in the second casing joint.
