Comparison study of hydraulic fracturing models -- Test case: GRI Staged Field Experiment No. 3

Conference ·
OSTI ID:10126510

This study is a comparison of hydraulic-fracture models run using test data from the GRI Staged Field Experiment No. 3. Models compared include 2-D, pseudo-3-D, and 3-D codes, run on up to eight different cases. Documented in this comparison are the differences in length, height, width, pressure and efficiency. The purpose of this study is to provide the completions engineer a practical comparison of the available models so that rational decisions can be made about which model(s) is optimal for a given application.
