Production Performance of Perforation Clusters during Multistage Fracturing in Shale Gas Reservoirs

“…The horizontal well will be fractured from toe to hoe stage-by-stage with bridge slug. Production evaluation data have confirmed that two-thirds of gas production comes from one-third of perforation clusters, and almost one-third of all perforation clusters is not contributing to production. − This brings up an urgent problem of how to increase the efficiency of perforation clusters. , …”

Temperature Sensing Characteristics of Tapered Doped Fiber Amplifiers

“…In this context, optical fibers have become a key piece to develop temperature sensors in such hazardous applications. As an example of these applications, we can mention petroleum pipeline monitoring and hydraulic fracturing evaluations [1,2]. Consequently, many efforts have been made to improve the performance of fiber optic temperature sensors based on different principles and designs.…”
