Hydraulic Fracturing (Fracking) Process Hydraulic fracturing is a well stimulation technique used to extract oil and natural gas from low-permeability rock formations like shale. The process involves injecting a high-pressure fluid mixture into the rock to create fractures, allowing hydrocarbons to flow more freely to the wellbore. Step-by-Step Process: 1. Drilling the Well A vertical […]

What is Acidizing?
Acidizing is a well stimulation technique in which acid is injected into a wellbore to dissolve formation minerals, remove damage, and enhance permeability, improving the flow of oil and gas. Types of Acidizing Processes 1. Matrix Acidizing: Acid is injected at a pressure below the fracture pressure to dissolve formation damage (e.g., drilling mud, scale, […]
Reservoir Stimulation Hydraulic Fracturing
This sheet can be used to perform a complete well model (IPR) for hydraulically fractured oil reservoirs. It can be used to predict the production rate increase after a hydraulic fracture treatment. The sheet also provides: 1. Productivity index (PI) calculations before frac.2. PI calculation post-fracturing.3. Dimensionless fracture conductivity (CFD).4. Negative skin due to Frac.5. The fold of increase (FOI) […]
