Evaluation of Potential of Multi-Fractured Horizontal Wells in Comparison with S-Shape Wells on Field X

In this work application of hydraulic fracturing in wells of different geometry (S-shape and horizontal) will be considered and selection of the most attractive geometry will be justified in conditions of the physical and economic constraints. Also we have to conduct fracturing optimization both in vertical and multistage fractured horizontal wells. Currently, there is no universal commercial software to provide optimization of fracturing, which take into account physical and economical constrains in real field condition. In the current project analytical model of fracture optimization design will be combined with simulation model to predict post-treatment production more accurate. It is worthwhile to mention that in case of horizontal wellbore geometry, optimization problem becomes more complex since issue of number of fractures selection arises. Whereas, the number of fracturing stages has influence on fracture parameters. Optimization will be conduct for the purpose of increasing of gas production and maximizing of economic efficiency.
