Determining the economic feasibility of hydraulic fracturing in a low-permeability formation area

“…In addition, the use of hydraulic fracturing leads to a change in the volume of produced water and the volume of the injected displacement agent. In determining the optimal technology parameters (in terms of economic performance) we must consider the growth of sales volumes, cost changes of associated water production and displacement agent injection, increase of costs associated with the implementation of the hydraulic fracturing technology [8][9][10][11].…”
