    摘要: Selecting a fracing-plan-to-apply to optimize a complexity index includes identifying a set of controllable input variables that defines a fracing plan. Initial values for the set of controllable input variables are defined. The initial values of the set of controllable input variables are processed to produce an initial stimulated geometry. A complexity estimator is applied to the initial stimulated geometry to produce an initial complexity index, which is evaluated to identify at least one variation from the initial values, which is processed to produce a variation stimulated geometry for each of the at least one variation from the initial values. The complexity estimator is applied to the at least one variation stimulated geometry to produce a variation complexity index for each of the at least one variation from the initial values. The fracing-plan-to-apply is selected from among the initial values and the at least one variation from the initial values.

    摘要: A method comprising: introducing a first fluid into a wellbore above a fracture gradient of a subterranean formation penetrated by the wellbore to create a first plurality of fractures within a first portion of the subterranean formation; introducing a second fluid comprising at least one acid component into the wellbore above the fracture gradient of the subterranean formation penetrated by the wellbore to create a second plurality of fractures within a second portion of the subterranean formation; allowing the second fluid to enter at least one natural fracture in the first or second portion of the subterranean formation allowing the acid component to dissolve at least a portion of the subterranean formation to form one or more induced fractures in fluidic communication with the natural fracture, at least some of the first plurality of fractures, and at least some of the second plurality of fractures.
