Utilising MFrac Technique to Simulate Hydraulic Fracturing Process
Journal Title: Petroleum & Petrochemical Engineering Journal - Year 2019, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
The MFrac software is an application used for fracture design and treatment analysis. An MFrac simulation is done to simulate the hydraulic fracturing in real life application in the oil fields. The MFrac simulates and calculates the real hydraulic fracturing in practice. The purpose of this research is to simulate the hydraulic fracturing in real life application in the oil fields to calculate the real hydraulic fracturing parameters. The aim of using MFrac is to get the fracture length, the fracture efficiency versus time, stress gradient, stress, young’s modulus, Poisson’s ratio and toughness at any certain true vertical depth (TVD).
