Approximate Dynamic Programming Based Control of Proppant Concentration in Hydraulic Fracturing

Hydraulic fracturing has played a crucial role in enhancing the extraction of oil and gas from deep underground sources. The two main objectives of hydraulic fracturing are to produce fractures with a desired fracture geometry and to achieve the target proppant concentration inside the fracture. Rec...
