Prediction model and real-time diagnostics of hydraulic fracturing pressure for highly deviated wells in deep oil and gas reservoirs by Lingdong Meng, Xiaoling Zhang, Yejun Jin, Kun Yan, Ziyang Li, Hailong Fu, Song li

“…Based on the well trajectory, pumping process, and string structure of highly deviated wells, a movement interface model for the fracturing fluid at different stages within the wellbore has been established, using the method of computational fluid dynamics. This model analyzes the fluid movement behavior with diverse properties at various fracturing times and determines the relationship between the pressure changes at the leading and trailing edges of fluid movement in each section of the wellbore over time by combining different string structures and preset pumping procedures. …”
