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...
