It is important to mention that the Design Optimization Curve could give unrealistic fracture geometry depending on the reservoir permeability, reservoir mechanical properties and target '''N<sub>p</sub>'''. The two most common scenarios are <ref name = pushing/>:
 
−
 
 
−
# The required net pressure for the fracture geometry is too high - “maximum net pressure curve”,
 
−
# Fracture width is too small (fracture too narrow) - “minimum width curve”.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
The area between the “minimum width curve” and the “maximum net pressure curve” is the “working area” (highlighted in yellow) of the whole type curve for the specific rock mechanical properties, reservoir and proppant properties used. Any fracture design for this specific case should be located on the “optimum design curve” anywhere in this working area depending on the desired '''N<sub>p</sub>'''<ref name = pushing/>.

Brief

pengtools onPlan

onPlan is a hydraulic fracture simulation software for designing a hydraulic fracture treatment.

onPlan is released under cooperation agreement between pengtools and Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology Oil&Gas Center LLC.

onPlan utilizes the Planar3D class model with advanced numerical optimization which allows to achieve high accuracy in predicting fracture geometry and fast simulation time.

onPlan integrates the Unified Fracture Design[1] concept which enables comparison of the designed frac geometry with the optimal one to maximize the performance of the fractured well.

onPlan is available online at www.pengtools.com.

Typical applications

  • Simulation of a single vertical well fractures in low stress contrast environments with a high risk of fracture breakthrough into overlying gas or underlying water
  • Optimization of hydraulic fracturing with Unified Fracture Design[1]
  • Understanding post-fracturing production performance
  • Sensitivity studies

Math & Physics

Splitting by physical processes

Basic equations of Planar3D model:

P(x,y)=-\frac{E}{8\pi(1-\nu^2)}\Delta \int \limits_{\Omega}^{}\frac{h(x^', y^')dx^'dy^'}{ \sqrt{((x-x^')^2+(y-y^')^2}} + \sigma (x,y) ( 1 ) - elastic reaction of formation
\frac{\partial}{\partial t} h C_i + div q_i = v_i\ and\ V_p = V_p + \Delta V ( 2 ) - 2D equation of multifluid flow and proppant transport

The model accounts for the effect of proppant bridging, gravitational setting and multifluid flow.

The mathematical model is supplemented by rheological dependencies for coupling the flow of a fluid with a pressure gradient and equations for calculating leak-off to the reservoir.

Splitting by physical processes

In usual numerical Planar3D implementation, Jacobi matrix includes parts that describe geomechanical and hydrodynamical processes. Splitting by physical processes allows to solve geomechanics and hydrodynamics separately. Splitting turns one linear system with dense matrix into two. Separate solving requires significantly less computation resources than solving whole system.
