hydraulic fracturing

Currently, hydraulic fracturing is a highly demanded technological operation for the intensification of hydrocarbon production from different types of reservoirs and increasing the injectivity of injection wells. The purpose of hydraulic fracturing is to create a network of fractures in the rock. Planning, support, and optimizing hydraulic fracturing operations is …

Specialists of the RN-hydraulic fracturing service company at the Prirazlomnoye field (part of RN-Yuganskneftegaz, a Rosneft subsidiary) conducted a 10,000-well hydraulic fracturing operation with a full design cycle in the first Russian hydraulic fracturing simulator RN-GRID. The introduction of our own simulator for the design of hydraulic fracturing operations ensured …

The largest SPE Workshop on Hydraulic Fracturing has been held in Russia since 2010 and gathered all in all 700 attendees since the first workshop. As the industry professionals’ interest in this topic increases, SPE brought the conference to a new level – for the first time we are holding …

SPE invites you to take part in the 2020 SPE Russian Petroleum Technology Conference, a high profile regional SPE oil and gas conference, which is highly respected for its high-quality technical content. Help SPE stay at the technological cutting edge and share your ideas and your achievements at the 2020 …

Specialists of JSC NK Kondaneft, a subsidiary of Rosneft, for the first time in the world performed hydraulic fracturing in sandstones using a fluid based on a synthetic polymer. An innovative solution allows to increase the effective length of rock cracks up to 30% compared to standard methods, which is especially …

One of the major tasks of the oil and gas field development is to maximize the oil recovery factor (ORF) at minimal cost. The solutions adopted in the field development design need to be optimized, taking into account the actual reservoir performance. Well intervention is a prime tool to improve …

Twenty years ago the company performed its first hydraulic fracturing on the testing ground  Noyabrskneftegaz’s Karamovskoye field. Since then, the hydraulic fracturing technique has become ever-more sophisticated: today it allows Gazprom Neft to not only stimulate production in Gazprom Neft fields, but also focus on development of  challenging reserves. First …

Energy Recovery, Inc., the leader in pressure energy technology for industrial fluid flows, today announced a 15-year deal with Schlumberger Technology Corporation, the world’s leading supplier of geoscience, engineering, drilling, and data management software products and computing services for the exploration and production industry. The agreement provides exclusive rights to …

“Gazprom Neft-Khantos” completed the first two test wells drilled in the south licensed the Ob field to explore reserves Bazhenov horizon. Both directional wells conducted hydraulic fracturing (HF), a flow of hydrocarbons in the near future will be completed testing of two similar wells. “Gazprom Neft-Khantos” many years develops traditional …

S.Akopyan, Schmidt Institute of Physics of the Earth of the Russian Academy of Sciences, RF, Moscow The seismic entropy method is currently used for earthquake forecasting. It enables us to show the seismic ranges of the geological environment which cause violent earthquakes and the formation of faults in an environment …
