Predicting the Production Performance of Hydraulically Fractured Oil Wells

M. J. Hrachovy

Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper investigates the equations governing well performance for hydraulically fractured wells producing from solution gas drive oil reservoirs. A method is presented which permits prediction of the folds of increase and the corresponding oil production rate obtained by fracturing until the economic limit is reached.
