Abstract

Systems and methods for improving production from wellbores include providing optimal fracture design parameters based on geomechanical analyses combined with geological, geophysical, and/or petrophysical knowledge. In at least one embodiment, the systems and methods include defining a well direction, defining a fracture spacing, selecting a fracturing fluid system and optimizing a fracture design, such as a complex multi-stage hydraulic fracture design. Such systems and methods can help minimize a learning curve associated with a wellbore or subterranean formation and optimize the hydraulic fracturing operation for a hydrocarbon reservoir.
