Abstract:
Hydrocarbon production from unconventional reservoirs is often associated with hydraulic fracturing operations. In many cases however, the high in-situ stresses and complex natural fracture network hinder an effective stimulation process. Therefore, different strategies are adopted to increase the success chance of stimulation. These strategies are in many cases field dependent and thus cannot be extended to other fields. In this study, we demonstrate a new work flow to ensure a successful stimulation process in an unconventional gas field in Pakistan.
