METHOD FOR PREDICTING OF HYDRAULIC FRACTURING AND ASSOCIATED RISKS

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 there...

Summary: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 (overflush, screenout, bridging, gel contamination, temperature effects). Il est décrit un procédé pour pronostiquer une fracturation hydraulique et les risques lors des opérations de fracturation hydraulique. Les procédés utilisent la modélisation mathématique qui permet d'établir un pronostic de géométrie d'une fissure de fracturation hydraulique et d'injection dans celle-ci d'un agent de soutènement (proppant), de fibres et d'autres matières. Le nouvel examen de a conception de fracturation permet de remédier les risques possibles (bouchon de queue, suppression, pontage, contamination de gelée, effets de température).
