Create an optimum hydraulic Fracturing Design of OMK-572 well using GOHFER 3D simulator

Abstract

The production of oil and gas from low-permeability reservoirs has been made possible by implementing hydraulic fracturing. Hydraulic fracturing improves the wells' productivity. An optimal fracture design can help understand the pressure distribution inside the fracture and the geometry of the fracture. To design an optimal hydraulic fracturing treatment, different digital simulators are used today to evaluate and predict the location, direction and extension of hydraulic fractures. So, we tried to create an optimum hydraulic Frac Design of well OMK 572 using GOHFER 3D. GOHFER is a 3D planar geometry fracture simulator with a fully coupled fluid/solid transport simulator. From the results we get it can be said that the GOHFER is a software with high accuracy and efficiency in designing fracturing operations.
