Forecasting the hydraulic fracturing efficiency when selecting wells for an event

Abstract

To this date, most of the oil and gas reserves are hard-to-recover, that is, they are located in deposits confined to low-permeability reservoirs. Hydraulic fracturing treatment (HFT) is one of the methods of production stimulation that allows making the oil recovery profitable from such reservoirs. The given article discusses regression analysis to predict HFT efficiency and select candidate wells.
