Design a hydraulic fracturing operation for the given conditions: Depth = 8000 ft Permeability = 0.5 md Porosity = 6% Reservoir pressure at 8000

Design a hydraulic fracturing operation for the given conditions: Depth = 8000 ft Permeability = 0.5 md Porosity = 6% Reservoir pressure at 8000 ft = 4700 psi Fracture gradient at 8000 ft = 0.74 psi/ft Formation payzone thickness = 80 ft Well spacing = 50 acre Reservoir fluid compressibility = 5.5x105 psi- Formation fluid viscosity = 1.5 cp Fracture fluid: Oil with sp.gr. of 0.8 at downhole conditions Viscosity = 6 cp Fluid loss test: A = 22.8 cm, slope = 1.1 cm/sqrt min. at reservoir conditions Proppant: 10-20 mesh sand Porosity = 32 % Sp.gr. = 2.63 Tubing: 27/8 in C-90 (ID = 2.347 in) Pumping rate = 25 bbl/min Objective is to fold the production rate by 3.5. Assume a fracture width of 0.13 in.
