Elimination of uncertainties in solving the problems of ensuring the profitability of hydraulic fracturing using FiberFrac technology

Abstract

The main type of geological and technical measures in the oil fields of Western Siberia today is hydraulic fracturing. The widespread use of this method of intensifying oil production is due to its undeniable advantages over other technologies. However, hydraulic fracturing is not without significant drawbacks - clogging of the bottomhole zone with proppant and products of chemical reactions, as well as premature watering of well products. All of the above is the reason for the relevance of improving this event. The FiberFrac technology is proposed, the essence of which is to add the chemical reagent of the same name to the process fluid with further formation of a reinforcing mesh in the last one. The purpose of the article is to study the features of the physico-chemical properties of the FiberFrac solution using the analysis of geological and field data, to evaluate the technical and economic efficiency of the application of this measure based on the correlation analysis of statistical data and the calculation of economic efficiency using the discount method, to substantiate the advantages of FiberFrac over the standard operation hydraulic fracturing.
