Hydraulic fracturing refers to the parting of geomaterials due to excessively high fluid pressure. The most common application of hydraulic fracturing is enhanced oil recovery, in which increase in functional permeability of the ground is achived by the formation of permeable fracture (Mohammad, et al,2014). Such processes are of vital importance for the explitation of deep geothermal reservoirs as well as for shale gas and oil reservoir (Gunther & Dirk ,2015). Currently, the most common used method to detecting the hydraulic fracturing geometry (including location, orientation, and dimension) is micro-seismic monitoring. However, the accuracy of hydraulic fracturing geometry extracted from microseismic monitoring method is limited, due to the low resolution and noisy borehole environment (Song, et al,2010). In this paper, a hydraulic fracturing operation in the tight oil reservoir HGB in the Songliao Basin was numerically investigated to find out the reason for the low productivity after the fracturing operation. And an effective fracture geometry of horizontal well hydraulic fractures are adopted based on hydraulic fracturing simulation.
