OPTIMIZATION OF MATHEMATICAL FUNCTION-SHAPED FRACTURE DISTRIBUTION PATTERNS FOR MULTI-STAGE FRACTURED HORIZONTAL WELLS

A conventional oil and gas well does not have a natural production capacity, which necessitates a hydraulic fracturing operation.The effectiveness of the fracturing directly impacts the economic benefit of a single well.Among the various parameters, including fracture spacing, fracture width, and conductivity, fracture half-length is one of the mai
