A demonstration project to introduce a unique stimulation process that was previously unavailable to U.S. markets has been initiated. The process utilizes liquid carbon dioxide (CO2) to both create hydraulic fractures and to transport proppants. Carbon dioxide is unique because it vaporizes at reservoir conditions and leaves only a liquid-free proppant pack. The process requires a pressurized closed-system blender to mix the proppant with liquid CO2. The process is non-damaging and can be beneficial to liquid-sensitive reservoirs that are damaged by conventional water-based hydraulic stimulation processes.
