API RP 100-1

Description

This document contains recommended practices for onshore well construction and fracture stimulation design and execution as it relates to well integrity and fracture containment. These practices cover the design and installation of well equipment that protects and isolates ground water aquifers, delivery and execution of the hydraulic fracture treatment, and contains and isolates the produced fluids. This document also addresses the design and execution of hydraulic fracturing treatments to contain the resulting fracture within a prescribed geologic interval. Fracture containment combines those parameters that are existing, those that can be established at installation, and those that can be controlled during execution.
