A method for improving natural hydrogen recovery through hydrogen fracturing includes obtaining field data from a hydrogen-containing formation and generating, by a computer processor and a series of models, a surface production rate, a compression value where the compression value is a pressure of pressurized hydrogen used to fracture the hydrogen-containing formation, a well path, a set of well separation distances, a fracture half-length where the fracture half-length is half of a total length of a fracture caused by a fracturing of the hydrogen-containing formation using pressurized hydrogen, and a well production rate. Using a well analysis, the fracture half-length, the well path, the well separation distances, and the well production rate are evaluated. Based on the surface production rate, the compression value, the fracture half-length, the well path, the well separation distances, the well production rate, and the field data, field operations are performed on the hydrogen-containing formation.

Method for improving unconventional hydrogen development

A method may include obtaining reservoir data for a geological region of interest. The method may further include obtaining production data regarding one or more wells coupled to the geological region of interest. The method may further include obtaining carbon emission data for the one or more wells. The method may further include determining predicted carbon emission data and predicted production data using a machine-learning model. The method may further include determining one or more stimulation parameters for a stimulation operation based on the predicted carbon emission data and the predicted production data. The method may further include transmitting a command to a control system coupled to an injection well. The command adjusts an amount of carbon dioxide that is supplied to the injection well based on the one or more stimulation parameters.
