Abstract
The article is dedicated to the calculation and assessment of the optimal geometry of fractures in the context of conducting hydraulic fracturing in horizontal wells. The significance of correctly determining the geometry of fractures to maximize well productivity and the efficiency of the hydraulic fracturing process is considered. The paper analyzes various methods for calculating and evaluating the optimal geometry of fractures, including numerical modeling, experimental research, and practical observations.Additionally, the article covers the results of experimental studies aimed at analyzing the behavior of fractures in different geological conditions. These studies include the analysis of physical and mechanical properties of rock formations, as well as the influence of well parameters on fracture formation. The obtained results can be useful for engineers and specialists in the oil and gas industry in designing and conducting hydraulic fracturing operations to increase hydrocarbon recovery from reservoirs.
