Creation of hydraulic fracturing in the physical structure
of the reservoir rock is one important way to improve the
productivity of oil and gas wells. These artificial
channels increase ability of the reservoir rock for
conducting hydrocarbons to the wellbore. In this study a
new approach has been proposed for optimization of
fracture half length in hydraulic fracturing operation.
Also, this new method that is a combination of various
fracturing geometry models has been proposed for
modeling the hydraulic fracturing geometry. We have
shown that there is a reasonable agreement between the
result of pseudo 3D fracture geometry model and the
predicted results from the proposed approach
Fracture geometry depends on stresses and rock
properties in hydraulic fracturing operation. Poisson’s
ratio imports directly in the calculations related to
formation stresses. The most important reason for
limiting fracture height is the natural stresses contrast
resulting from the differences with Poisson ratios.
Without this difference, fracture would have largely
uncontrolled height. The goal of this study is
mathematical investigation of the effect of Poisson’s
ratio on the formation stresses that is necessary to select
value of breakdown pressure in hydraulic fracturing
operation. In this article, a mathematical model has been
coded using “MATLAB” software for prediction of
stresses in the various layers. This designed program is
able to present both digital and graphical output results
for different values of Poisson’s ratio. At the end,
stresses exerted on the different layers of the several real
oil reservoirs have simulated and breakdown pressures
have determined
