Modeling of Crack Development Associated with Proppant Hydraulic Fracturing in a Clay-Carbonate Oil Deposit

Survey and novel research data are used in the present study to classify/identify lithological type of Verey age reservoirs’ rocks. It is shown how use X-ray tomography can clarify degree heterogeneity, porosity permeability these These then elaborate a model hydraulic fracturing. The resulting software take into account properties proppant breakdown fluid, thermal reservoir conditions, oil properties, well design even filtration elastic-mechanical Calculations fracturing crack formation carried out results compared with on at standard conditions. Significant differences lithotype models determined. that average width development for 2.3 times higher than model. Moreover, coverage height almost 2 less estimated fracture half-length 13.3% A dimensionless conductivity also obtained concluded proposed approach increase reliability models.
