Refracturing creates highly attractive opportunities to use existing wellbores for additional hydrocarbon recovery without having to drill a new well, reducing environmental impact. Within a given field, the completion techniques typically evolve leaving many wells with stranded volumes of commercial hydrocarbons. Re-entry and re-stimulation is a proven approach to economically recover those previously stranded resources.… Read More »SPE Workshop: Refracturing : A Proven Strategy to Maximize Economic Recovery
