PE Distinguished Seminar: Dr. Junjing Zhang

Virtual Event CO, United States

Mitigating Production Degradation Due to Frac Hits in Unconventional Reservoirs Register To Attend In unconventional reservoirs, a "frac hit" is the infill-to-parent well communication during hydraulic fracturing. In most shale plays, production from the parent-infill well system drops below original forecasts due to production degradation after fracture hits from offset wells. Fracturing treatments in infill […]
