New technologies for hydraulic fracturing of horizontal wells used in North America
The article provides information on multistage hydraulic fracturing technologies, which are widely used for the industrial development of unconventional oil resources in tight and shale reservoirs in the United States and Canada. New technologies for hydraulic fracturing are aimed at minimizing costs and achieving maximum inflows in the shortest possible time. For this, along with technical solutions, fractures are compacted along the wellbore, as well as an increase in the specific volumes of injected proppant per unit length of a horizontal well with an increased flow rate of hydraulic fracturing fluid.
