6Copyright TBD America, Inc. All rights reserved. Hydrofracturing Hydrofracturing (hydraulic fracturing, fracking) consists of pumping into the formation very large volumes of fresh water that generally has been treated with a friction reducer, biocides, scale inhibitor, and surfactants, and contains sand as the propping agent. The water treating fluid maximizes the horizontal length of the fracture while minimizing the vertical fracture height. The fractures, which are held open by the sand, result in increased surface area, which further results in increases in the desorption of the gas from the shale and increases in the mobility of the gas. The result is more efficient recovery of a larger volume of the gas-in- place.

Reducing slurry chemical shrinkage to a minimum and improving the bonding. Using right angle setting slurries reduces the amount of time in which gas can migrate within the unset cement.

WELLBORE INTEGRITY 14Copyright TBD America, Inc. All rights reserved. Using lightweight cements avoids cement losses in the case of weak (surface) formation. Using inflatable annular casing packers to enhance a standard cement job by providing specific points of isolation. For surface casing applications, cement should always come to the surface, without exclusion. Pressure testing the integrity of formation strength below a casing shoe to ensure adequate sealing is mandatory.

Allows engineers to evaluate fracture stimulation design in controlled environment. Use data such as porosity, permeability, lithology, fluid saturation, fracture character and stress regimes to determine optimal fracture locations and possible fracture propagations. 16Copyright TBD America, Inc.

The turbulent flow frictional loss in the wellbore and perforations is important to design and perform a fracturing treatment. The frictional losses are used to predict the surface treating pressure and injection rate. The Laminar Flow Behavior of the Fluid is Critical to the Design of Proppant Transport and Fracture Flow Geometry. 24Copyright TBD America, Inc. All rights reserved. Turbulent and Laminar Flow
