  Application of Multi-Stage Hydraulic Fracturing (MSFH) in the Development of Deep-Lying Deposits with Low Permeability of Hydrocarbon Fields
  Author(s): WJ Chang, Sudad H. Al-Obaidi and VI Smirnov*
  
  As a result of the development of deep-lying deposits, additional volumes of gas and gasoline can be extracted from fields with declining production, and new production methods can be introduced. New methods of intensifying production are required when well productivity decreases during the development of gas condensate fields. Deep- lying deposits can be increased by Hydraulic Fracturing (HF), which can be considered one of the main methods of improving well productivity. To maintain reservoir rock flow characteristics and create large fractures with high permeability, hydraulic fracturing is essential for low-permeability deep deposits. As part of this work and for the development of deep deposits with low permeability, Multi-Stage Hydraulic Fracturing (MSFH) is used as the most effective technique for intensifying gas and condensate production. There were two types of hydrau.. View More»
