Horizontal drilling and fracking as a combined technique grew in popularity in part because it was shown to increase the production potential of oil and gas wells by making it possible to access ...
Horizontal well hydraulic fracturing technology has significantly enhanced the productivity of shale reservoirs. However, our understanding of the expansion patterns within the complex fracture ...
Efficient drilling in shale reservoirs requires detailed 3-dimensional (3D) horizontal well trajectories. An orthogonal-arc trajectory (OAT) method assumes a single constant curvature in the curved ...
The judicial support for fracking means that horizontal fracking can begin at the Preston New Road site at Little Plumpton in Lancashire. Hydraulic fracturing describes a well-stimulation technique ...
RALEIGH, North Carolina (Reuters) - North Carolina moved closer to joining a number of states that have embraced shale gas exploration using hydrofracking, under legislation the state's House of ...
