Case study of a stimulation experiment in a fluvial, tight-sandstone gas reservoir

Stimulation experiment conducted in a fluvial sandstone of the Mesaverde formation at the US DOE's Multiwell Experiment (MWX) Site in the Piceance basin of Colorado. The stimulation experiment consisted of stress tests, a three-well prefacture interference test, step-rate/flowback tests, a minifracture, a full stimulation treatment, borehole geophone diagnostics during fracturing, and a postfracture interference test.
