Details for "Westside: Slickwater Fracturing - Food for Thought"

Slickwater Fracturing - Food for Thought

Slickwater frac designs have become a major factor in the development of today�s unconventional gas reservoirs such as tight gas sands, shales, and coalbed methane plays. Most frac design engineers in the industry, however, have been trained in the more conventional, cross-linked fracturing fluids. This presentation will focus on the key issues to be considered when designing a slickwater frac, including fracture width and complexity, proppant transport, fracture conductivity, and proppant selection. Special attention will be paid to those issues that distinguish the slickwater approach from the cross-linked gel frac methodology. The material presented will be supplemented by descriptive lab studies and field case histories.
