Abstract
ABSTRACT The monitoring of stimulation treatments has traditionally been left to the service company providing the pumping service. This paper describes the development of a monitoring system by an operator that is capable of being used with all the major service companies. The benefits of the SMART (Stimulation Monitoring Analysis and Research Truck) system is shown from quality control information obtained during four massive hydraulic fracture treatments. Data previously not recorded continuously on-site is shown to be of importance. The instrumentation used is also discussed together with some of the limitations and successful applications from monitoring over fifty treatments.
