  • OPTIMIZING WASTE SLURRY DISPOSAL IN FRACTURED INJECTION OPERATIONS
    Publication number: 20220010655
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for optimizing operations for a fracturing injection waste disposal well especially where the formation is damaged or tight such that pressure fall-off tests are impractical due to extended leak-off rate times. Formation closure pressure and formation stress are calculated using Instantaneous Shut-in Pressure rather than traditional methods requiring actual fracture closure.
    Type: Application
    Filed: September 25, 2021
    Publication date: January 13, 2022
