Study of Horizontal Multistage Hydraulic Fracturing of a Reservoir

  • Published:
Chemistry and Technology of Fuels and Oils Aims and scope

Horizontal well drilling technology has gained widespread popularity in recent years, especially for developing shale gas fields. In this paper, we propose a 3D model for calculating process parameters, based on the hypothesis that an elliptical crack forms as a result of hydraulic fracturing. Calculations according to this model can be used to determine the net pressure and the stress distribution near the cracks formed.
