Innovative Platform Proposal (Website) for Hydraulic Fracturing Calibration Test Analysis

Abstract

Hydraulic Fracturing involves injecting a high-pressure mixture of water, sand, and chemicals to fracture rock formations and increase hydrocarbon flow. At Sonatrach, multiple tests are conducted during this process to develop an improved fracturing model and schedule. However, analyzing these test results was challenging due to the lack of a specialized software platform, forcing reliance on expensive expert services. To address this, the FRACTO comprehensive software/website solution was created to optimize fracturing processes by integrating tools to bridge theory and practice. Requirements were gathered through collaboration with fracturing engineers, following a well-defined methodology to systematically program the platform. The results demonstrated that the main fracturing schedule generated by the FRACTO Platform for the MD689 well was accurate and effective, providing a solid foundation for successful execution.
