SIMULATION OF INTERACTION BETWEEN FRAC JOB FRACTURES IN SYSTEM OF COMPLEX FRACTURES Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC E21B43/267 G06G7/48 

FIELD: mining.

SUBSTANCE: claimed process comprises the accessing of data on the well location, construction of geological medium mechanical model and patterning of frac job fractures growth in the system of fractures in time. Said patterning comprises propagation of said fractures from the drill hole and in the underground seam fractures for formation of the system of frac job fractures. Parameters of the latter are defined after propagation. Transfer parameters are defined for proppant to be forced through the system of said frac job fractures. Sizes of the latter are defined proceeding from their parameters and mechanical model of geological medium. Besides, claimed process comprises the shadowing of strain relative to frac job fractures for determination of relative influence of strains between the fractures and reiteration of patterning proceeding from the defined interrelation of fractures. Also, this process can include the determination of the intersection pattern.

EFFECT: higher efficiency of simulation.
