Abstract

Systems and methods for generating candidate designs and selecting a fracturing position design scheme for a horizontal well to be fractured based on fracturing potential are disclosed. A fracturing potential value of each designed fracturing point or each fracturing point is calculated using obtained values of various indexes of various depth points. A first corresponding relation between fracture conductivity value and the fracturing potential value and a second corresponding relation between a fracture half length and the fracturing potential value is determined. Corresponding first simulated production data for each candidate design is generated, and the candidate design with a highest predicted net present value is selected as the fracturing position design scheme which provides higher rationality and practicability to better guide development.
