Abstract

The paper studies the application of net present value (NPV) to optimise fracture design for the Upper Oligocene reservoir in Bach Ho field: sensitivity analysis of fracture conductivity damage factor (0%, and 50%), flowing bottom pressure, and discount rate (10%, 25%, 50%, and 75%) on NPV.
The optimal fracture design includes the combination of reservoir properties, productivity index, rock properties, fracture propagation, rheology of fracturing fluid, proppant loading schedule, and treatment design parameters.
