We present a methodology to determine optimal financial parameters in shale-gas
production, combining numerical simulation of decline curves and stochastic modeling of the …

The aim of the work is to determine the most cost-effective design of hydraulic fracturing with
a fixed mass of proppant per operation under changing geological conditions. To obtain an …

We present a novel approach for calculating the energy dissipated during fluid driven
fracturing in saturated porous media. Analytical functions describing both of the solid and …

We present a numerical approach for the quantification of the energy transfer, storage, and
dissipation mechanisms in fluid-driven fracturing. The analysis approach is motivated and …

This study introduces a novel and refined workflow for optimizing the fracturing operations
based on simulation-assisted machine learning technique. Large datasets, ample efforts …

The selection of proppants is quite a challenging task as the cost almost comprises 20% to
well over 50% of total fracturing jobs when ceramic is used. So, in the current situation of oil …

The paper is devoted to comparison of multiple-objectives optimization algorithms in
application to the problem of design optimization of a multiply fractured horizontal well …

Hydraulic fracturing brings economic unconventional reservoir developments, and multi-
cluster completion designs result in complex hydraulic fracture geometries. Therefore …

The classic Lagrangian mechanics approach allows for solving virtually any physical
problem only for a chosen set of generalized coordinates, thus eliminating unnecessary …

The aim of the work is to determine the most cost-effective design of hydraulic fracturing with
a fixed mass of proppant per operation under changing geological conditions. To obtain an …
