Geochemical Estimation of Hydraulic Fracturing Efficiency in Non-conventional Reservoirs

Currently the directional drilling combined with hydraulic fracturing are the most promising and economically feasible mechanisms for shale oil and gas production. There are different methods of fracture distribution estimation resulting from hydraulic fracturing including geochemical ones. Abstract considers in general the stages of geochemical efficiency estimation of hydraulic fracturing in non-conventional reservoirs and shows the possibility of its complex use in determination of HC fluid appurtenance to the bed in development.
