High-permeability fracturing---the evolution of a technology. M.B. Smith and R.R. Hannah. JPT, July 1996, 48(7), 628--633.
This review uses field examples both offshore/onshore, to trace the history, development, and application of tip screenout fracturing to high-permeability formations, including fracturing to increase productivity index, as well as applications aimed at improving completions in unconsolidated sands. Consideration is given to potential applications of fracturing to bypass the need for sand control. Also, the use of fracturing as a reservoir-management tool is examined through the use of a propped fracture to alter the vertical flow profile of a well to maximize reserves. 46 refs.
