How to Use This Calculator
- Enter reservoir permeability (md), formation thickness (ft), and target fracture half-length (ft).
- Enter fracture conductivity (md-ft) and wellbore radius (ft).
- Read dimensionless fracture conductivity (CfD) and estimated folds of increase (FOI) in productivity.
- Review optimal proppant volume and pump rate recommendations.
- Compare pre-frac vs. post-frac productivity index to evaluate stimulation effectiveness.
