Optimizing hydraulic fracturing in the Paradox formation: A geomechanical study of the Cane Creek play - ene. 2025 - 9 p.
The Cane Creek play has unconventional tight oil potential but presents drilling challenges. This article revisits its viability in modern horizontal drilling techniques and proposes a redefined approach to hydraulic fracturing that prioritizes detailed characterization of stress states and fracture dynamics.
