Oil recovery optimization using a well having both horizontal and vertical sections |
August 23, 1994 |
| A steam, carbon dioxide, or solvent injection method is used in combination with a cased well completed to have an upper vertical section, a lower vertical section and a horizontal section which connects the two vertical sections. Steam, carbon dioxide, or solvent is injected down tubing |

Technique for maximizing effectiveness of fracturing in massive intervals |
May 24, 1994 |
| A process where massive hydraulic fracturing (MHF) is used in combination with a novel horizontal and vertical well drilling scheme. The novel well drilling scheme provides the cost benefits of vertical drilling along with the increased pay zone contact of extended-reach drilling. MHF |

Removing fracture fluid via chemical blowing agents |
May 23, 1989 |
| A method for increasing the efficiency by which fracture fluids are produced back from a hydrocarbonaceous fluid bearing formation. To remove said fracture fluid, a chemical blowing agent is placed into the formation. After placement of said blowing agent and fracturing the formation |
