  • Patent number: 11193356
    Abstract: The provided method allows optimizing the fracturing design (frac design) while taking into account the two-dimensional modelling of the transport processes in the fracture. The generation of the fracturing design in a well comprises the steps of: obtaining data on hydraulic fracturing including the proppant pumping schedule and the fibre pumping schedule for various types of fibres; generating a degradation matrix for the various types of fibres; generating possible options of the hydraulic fracturing operation according to the fibre type and pumping schedule. Moreover, the method of hydraulic fracturing, which comprises generating a schedule of fracturing in a well, preparing a fracturing fluid containing carrier fluid, proppant, additives, and fibres, and pumping the fracturing fluid into the formation through the well following the selected (optimal) option of the fracturing operation, is provided.

  • Publication number: 20200056460
    Abstract: A method of predicting hydraulic fracturing and associated risks of hydraulic fracturing operation is proposed. The methods use the mathematical simulation which allow to predict the geometry of a hydraulic fracture and location of fluids, propping agents (proppant), fibers and other materials therein. Reconsidering the fracturing design allows to remedy the possible risks (overflash, screen-out, bridging, gel contamination, temperature effects).
