Simulation studies indicate that the emerging technology of multiple fractured horizontal wells (MFHW) is a strong candidate for economic development of tight gas reserves in Germany. Mobil Erdgas Erdoel GmbH (MEEG) conducted the feasibility study for the exploitation of low-permeability gas sands in the Soehlingen field in northwest Germany. The objective of the simulation was to determine an economic method to develop these reserves and resources. Mobil's PC program Hyfrac was used to determine the best combination of horizontal well length, frac parameters, and associated production forecasts for various numbers of hydraulic fractures.
