.... The idea of enhancing vertical conductivity of interbedded reservoirs by using hydraulic fracturing of horizontal wells has been proposed before ( Boone and Kosik, 2010 ; Closmann, 1987 ; Graham, 2000 ). However, what appears to be missing is an integrated process evaluation and design, from reservoir...

... Abstract Hydraulic fracturing can be used in low-permeability heavy oil reservoirs for improving the production rate. It is challenging to achieve a high degree of fracturing fluid flow-back in low-permeability heavy oil reservoirs. This research investigates the application of a novel hyper...
