multiple transverse fracturing in horizontal wells

Sažetak
Tight reservoirs present unique challenges related to hydrocarbon storage and flow in complex reservoirs, thus requiring an improved fundamental understanding for effective production. Productivity from relatively thin formation may be substantially improved by horizontal drilling. Multiple transverse fracturing in horizontal wells is probably the most widely accepted production technique in the last decade. This technique is moving to a greater number of fracturing-treatment stages per lateral. The reasons for the success of this technique are related to the effectiveness of hydraulic fracturing for production enhancement and to relatively low cost of pumping services onshore. Offshore, high direct and indirect costs and risks associated with operations have limited the use of this technique. A possibility of transverse fracturing with multistage completion can also provide economic success of low-permeability reservoirs offshore.
