Hydraulic Fracture Treatment Design and Quality Control

Hydraulic fracture treatment and quality control are centered around the planning and execution of well stimulation efficiently and safely. It is about selecting the right fracture fluids, proppant injection pressures, pumping rates, and treatment quantities based upon reservoir conditions. Quality control is a way to ensure that the equipment and materials, as well as the properties of fluids and pumping procedures, meet specifications, decreasing the chance of treatment failure and also ensuring steady performance of the well.
