  • Methods for creating multiple hydraulic fractures in oil and gas wells
    Patent number: 10422207
    Abstract: Transverse fractures are formed from a borehole using hydraulic fracturing fluid while maintaining the downhole pressure close to a target pressure. The target pressure is selected to be greater than the expected transverse fracture initiation pressure at predetermined weak points, such as notches, and less than the expected longitudinal fracture initiation pressure. The process can be repeated to form multiple transverse fractures by pumping diversion composition(s).
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: September 24, 2019
    Assignee: SCHLUMBERGER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION

  • Rock Classification Based on Texture and Composition
    Publication number: 20140297186
    Abstract: A methodology provides improved rock classification. The rock classification may be based on characteristics such as texture and composition. Initially, data is obtained on rock in a given subterranean region. The data is processed to derive a material behavior and/or material properties in the subterranean region based on texture and/or composition of the rock.
