Overview: The paper cites that understanding the reservoir, its basic rock properties and how they affect fracturing, is a prerequisite for optimizing hydraulic fracturing treatments. Choosing the proper fracturing fluid, proppant, proppant load, and additives are important. Achieving and maintaining fracture conductivity is essential. Modeling, recognizing the underlying theory and limitations, can help operators determine how different parameters affect created fractures and guide them to treatment designs that will be more effective. Data gathered during a frac treatment provides insights for future frac designs.
