Enhancing Hydraulic Fracture Efficiency: What’s New in FracPro Hydraulic fracturing has revolutionized energy production, but its success requires more than just pumping fluids and proppant—it demands expertise in diagnostics, design, fracture mechanics, reservoir...
As directional drilling pushes into deeper, more complex territory, the mechanical forces acting on drillstrings and casing systems grow harder to ignore. Extended-reach and high-angle wells introduce interactions that are neither linear nor forgiving. Among these,...
Understanding operational setbacks in drilling fluid systems and how better data management can help In rotary drilling, drilling fluid—or “mud”—is more than just a medium for cuttings removal. It supports wellbore stability, cools the bit, maintains pressure, and...
In cementing operations, the precision of slurry formulation is critical to achieving reliable zonal isolation and ensuring long-term well integrity. Yet, many cement labs continue to rely on outdated tools—fragmented spreadsheets, manual data entry, and siloed...
Hydraulic fracturing continues to grow in complexity. Modern horizontal developments often involve tight stage spacing, variable lithologies, and narrow operational windows. Design decisions must account for a wide range of geologic and treatment variables—while also...
