A multi-layered p-3D approach to design is proposed integrating
Unified Fracture Design (UFD), fracture propagation models and
Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics (LEFM) relationship to generate
optimized fracture geometry, including fracture height, width and
half-length to achieve the maximized production. Containment layers
are discretized to allow for plausible fracture heights when
seeking convergence of fracture height and net pressure. Other than
the physical fracture geometry optimization, thus maximizing
production, another obvious application of this research is to
prevent the fracture from propagating into the unintended layers
(i.e. gas cap and aquifer). Therefore, this study can guide
fracture design job by pointing out: (1) what treating pressure is
needed to achieve the optimum fracture geometry; (2) at which
containment layers of the multi-layers will the vertical fracture
propagation stop, given the above treating pressure; (3) the layer
discretization will allow an approximate location of the fracture
top and bottom tips which is sufficient for the purposes of this
design.
