Description
Summary:This book explores the geometry of hydraulic fractures using distributed fiber optic strain measurements. It focuses on modeling and analyzing fracture geometry in oil, gas, and geothermal wells to optimize production and address environmental challenges. The authors, experts in petroleum engineering and geophysics, present a comprehensive examination of distributed fiber optic sensing (DFOS) and its applications in fracture diagnostics and reservoir development. The book combines theoretical modeling with field applications in regions such as Eagle Ford and the Permian Basin, providing insights into fracture height, width, and azimuth estimation. It is intended for professionals and researchers in petroleum engineering and related fields seeking to enhance subsurface monitoring and optimize hydraulic fracturing processes.
