Abstract
Summary
This article describes a software tool developed by authors for modeling the process of SRV forming. The calculation of the hydraulic fractures growth and the flow of a mixture of liquid and proppant in a network of fractures is carried out within the cell-based Pseudo-3D model. Developed model also takes into account the interaction of hydraulic fractures with natural fractures and «stress shadow» effect. In addition, the implemented tool allows to simulate the deposition of the proppant and the process of fracture closing after stopping the injection. The influence of the main input parameters on SRV formation is investigated, and the simulation results using real data are presented in the article.
