Terms Related to Conductivity (fracture flow)

• Fracture acidizing

  Creating a fracture in a carbonate and etching the face of the fracture to preserve flow capacity down the fracture.

• Fracture pad

  The initial part of the fracture fluid that creates the fracture width and controls the initial fluid loss but contains no proppant.

• Permeability (of a reservoir rock)

  The ability of a rock to transmit fluid through the pore spaces. - a key influence on the rate of flow, movement and drainage of ...

• Matrix acidizing

  The procedure by which acid flow is confined to the natural permeability and porosity of the formation. Compare fracture acidizing.

• Acid fracture

  To fracture stimulate a formation by injecting the acid over the parting pressure of the rock and using the acid to etch channels in the ...

• Brittle fracture

  A fracture created with little or no plastic deformation.

• Effective permeability

  A measure of the ability of a single fluid to flow through a rock when another fluid is also present in the pore spaces. Compare ...
