OPTIMIZATION OF HYDROCARBON RECOVERY IN LOW-OUTPUT ZONES VIA HYDRAULIC FRACTURING – TFT FIELD EXAMPLE

Abstract

This research reimagines the potential of hydraulic fracturing in revitalizing low-yield hydrocarbon zones, focusing on a tailored case in the TFT field, Algeria. Beyond conventional recovery techniques, it integrates advanced diagnostics, precise modeling, and on-site adaptability to overcome formation challenges. By analyzing Well AMA-94's performance, the study proposes a forward-thinking approach that combines field data with simulation insights to maximize production. The outcomes highlight the strategic benefits of hydraulic fracturing in similar contexts and suggest pathways for future research in optimizing unconventional reservoirs.
