SPECIAL FOCUS: HYDRAULIC FRACTURING
Cluster-level flow mapping and production diagnostics using ultrahigh-resolution nanoparticle tracers
Existing methods for perforation or cluster-level production monitoring are often challenging, intrusive and costly. This case study outlines a novel flow monitoring technique and modified perforating system, which maintains similar performance to conventional systems without tracers, while also eliminating additional handling and regulatory burdens.聽
