Probability-Statistical Models to Forecast Hydraulic Fracturing Efficiency

Abstract

The article discusses the criteria for choosing fracture parameters by length, height and amount of proppant to be injected. The criteria, chosen on the basis of for probabilistic and statistical analysis are to ensure adequate application of multiand single-stage hydraulic fracturing technique. The statistical indicators analysis of the multistage hydraulic fracturing application on the AS12-3 horizon made it possible to clarify the ranges of main hydraulic fractures parameters in terms of their length, volume, number of fractures and the weight of the injected proppant.
