The Austin Chalk/Eagle Ford Field Laboratory (ACEFFL)
This project, led by Texas A&M University, developed a science-based field laboratory in the Austin Chalk/Eagle Ford Shale Formation to determine the stimulated reservoir volume created by the fracturing of multiple wells. Utilizing newly developed monitoring solutions, the team delivered comprehensive high-quality field data on the extent and morphologies of productive fractures created from these wells. Advanced field monitoring was complemented by laboratory testing on cores and drill cuttings, and coupled modeling for design, prediction, calibration, and code validation. The Austin Chalk/Eagle Ford Field Laboratory (ACEFFL) was hosted by SM Energy, which provided access to the wells of opportunity.
