AbstractThe Bakken Formation in the Williston Basin has experienced multiple periods of activity and the current level of exploration/exploitation in North Dakota is widespread. The prevalent drilling practices include single and multi-lateral horizontal wellbores requiring hydraulic fracture stimulation to be productive.Many operators are experimenting with an assembly of completion and stimulation techniques in order to achieve economic production. Knowledge and techniques used in other basins with shale production have been applied with positive results. This paper describes the methodologies applied and subsequent production enhancements. By changing stimulation techniques and methodologies along with an evolving thought process, economic productivity has been achieved enabling significant development of the resource for the operator.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
