188 Hydrocarbon Filled Fracture Formation Testing Before Shale Fracturing US15576832 2016-06-02 US20180306029A1 2018-10-25 Frederic Joseph Santarelli
A method of determining the presence of hydrocarbon-filled natural fractures with sufficient lateral extension in a well in which stimulation by hydraulic fracturing is intended to be carried out.
