Feasibility of the unified design concept for induced fractures with permeability dictated by fractures’ geometries has been shown. Reasoning for the acid fracturing unified design concept is offered, as well as a methodology for calculation. The developed methodology is an effective tool for optimizing acid fracturing treatment, justification of the treatment volume and effectiveness prediction even at the stage of well planning.
