Numerical Simulation and Sensitivity Analysis of Hydraulic Fracturing in Multilayered Thin Tight Sandstone Gas Reservoir by Hao Zhang, Yuhu Bai, Bingxiang Xu, Xulin Du, Shaohua Gai

“…According to the comparison of fracturing and production simulations, the optimized fracturing scheme can prevent hydraulic fractures from breaking through thin interlayers, control the fracture height, and prevent fractures from communicating strata with a high water-bearing layer. At the same time, with the same amount of proppant and fracturing fluid, longer fracture length and better fracture conductivity are created, so that the productivity of the optimized fracture has been greatly improved.…”
