Abstract:
Formation fracturing by hydraulic process is becoming increasingly more popular as a technique to increase the rate of gas production in the Hugoton field. The productive formations, members of the Chase group, undergo a facies change from dolomites and limestones in the eastern and central part of the field to clastic equivalents updip along the western margin. In these areas, a new type acid-kerosene emulsion has been utilized as a fracturing medium. Results obtained from more than one hundred fracture-type treatments on wells situated in the marginal areas of the field have indicated a higher flow capacity than wells in the immediate locality completed by acidizing.
