    摘要: The methods described are for determining distribution, orientation and dimensions of networks of hydraulically-induced fractures within a subterranean formation containing fluids. Micro-seismic events are generated by particles introduced into the fractures which are capable of explosive or chemical reaction. In one method, treated proppant having a reactive coating is positioned in the formation during fracturing and reactive particles are introduced. In another method, reactive particles having a reactive core and a non-reactive coating are positioned in the fractures and react upon removal of the non-reactive coating, such as by dissolving, and reaction with a reactive particle. The waves generated by the micro-seismic events are used to map fracture space.

    摘要: Included are methods and systems for controlling the rheology of a treatment fluid. An example method comprises selecting a cellulose feedstock source to provide a cellulose capable of being processed into a nanocellulose having an average desired aspect ratio, and processing the cellulose with a cellulose processing technique to provide the nanocellulose with the average desired aspect ratio. The method further comprises adding the nanocellulose to the treatment fluid; wherein the nanocellulose alters a rheological property of the treatment fluid to provide an altered treatment fluid, and introducing the altered treatment fluid into a wellbore.

    摘要: The methods described are for determining distribution, orientation and dimensions of networks of hydraulically-induced fractures within a subterranean formation containing fluids. Detectable signals are generated by particles introduced into the fractures. In an exemplary method acoustic particles are positioned in the formation during fracturing and allowed to generate a signal during or after fracturing activity. The detectable signals generated by the acoustic particles are used to map fracture space.
