Hydraulic Fracturing of a Formation

Bys: I. U., Khalimov, M. R., Mekhmonov, S. B., Khamidov

The monograph is dedicated to the development and analytical substantiation of hydraulic fracturing technology within the in-situ leaching of uranium system, using water jet devices for effective fracture propping. The work examines the geological and hydrogeological features of hydrogenic uranium deposits in the Republic of Uzbekistan, analyzes the reasons for the decline in the productivity of process wells, and substantiates the need to intensify filtration processes. This paper presents the results of experimental and analytical studies aimed at optimizing hydraulic fracturing parameters and developing an engineering methodology for proppant delivery. For the first time, the optimal operating modes of water-jet apparatuses have been analytically established, the patterns of change in geotechnological indicators during the formation of extended collectors have been identified, and the conditions for achieving maximum efficiency in hydraulic fracturing technology have been determined. The monograph is intended for researchers, engineers, and specialists in the fields of geotechnology, in-situ uranium leaching, and the intensification of filtration processes.
