Study of problems and prospects for increasing hydrocarbon production using hydraulic fracturing

Lesia Moroz, Bohdan Hryhorash, Anastasiia Zhekalo
Abstract

The improvement of hydraulic fracturing technologies is gaining more and more relevance in connection with the depletion of currently actively developed oil and gas fields. Therefore, oil and gas production companies are paying more and more attention to methodsofactionintheformationzone to increase the flow of fluid to the well. The study of the process of hydraulic fracturing is an important task today. One of the main directions of its impro?ement is its combination with other methods of fluid inflow intensification and a more detailed study of the technological parameters of the process. Hydraulic fracturing has been used quite widely and effectively in the deposits of Ukraine since 1960. During 1957-1970, hydraulicfracturing was carried out using thickened oil and quartz sand to seal the cracks. Later, hydraulic fracturing was performed using water or aqueous solutions of polymers. In the development of low-permeability reservoirs, technologies associated with the use of hydraulic fracturing are increasingly being used. Today, hydraulic fracturing is one of the most powerful and effective means of increasing the technical and economic indicators of field development around the world. As a result of hydraulic fracturing, well flow rates increase by 300-600%. Since 1996, powerful hydraulic fracturing has been used, which differs from the previous use of highly viscous non-Newtonian fluids by cementing cracks with high concentrations of ceramic proppants, increasing the flow of fluids and their injection pressure. Since then, there has been a need to increase the validity of the selection of objects for fracturing and the use of more efficient technology or the improvement of already existing fracturing technology.
