Abstract:Fracture stimulation characteristics were measured and studied for changing behavior over a 6 month period using pressure buildup tests conducted on a Prudhoe Bay well. The suite of pressure tests included a pre-frac buildup, and two post-frac buildups at six month intervals following the fracture stimulation treatment. Pre-frac analysis exhibited radial composite characteristics consistent with other Prudhoe Bay well test analysis. Post-frac analysis showed the fracture length and conductivity to decrease ove… Show more
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.
