Multistage Hydraulic Fracturing of the Tyumen Suite Reservoirs of Em-Yogovskoye Field: Frac-Design, Practice, Results

The paper describes a system of approaches to the design and engineering support of multistage hydraulic fracturing: A method of developing multiple-option modular design of multistage hydraulic fracturing which is a tool for operational decision-making in the process of hydraulic fracturing.Building a Hydraulic Fracturing Designs Matrix when optimizing field development plans. The result was used to build decision maps for finding well completion methods and selecting a baseline hydraulic fracturing design. The paper also describes how the systematization of approaches, methodological developments, and decision templates can help in optimizing field development by drilling directional and horizontal wells followed by multi-stage hydraulic fracturing. The sequence of events and tasks that led to the development of the methodology, as well as its potential, is briefly described. The methodologies were developed during the execution of a hydraulic fracturing project at JK 29 reservoirs of the Tyumen Suite of Em-Yogovskoye field, after which they were applied in a number of other projects for the development of hard-to-recover hydrocarbon reserves in West Siberia.
