The disclosure is directed to methods to design and revise hydraulic fracturing (HF) job plans. The methods can utilize one or more data sources from public, proprietary, confidential, and historical sources. The methods can build mathematical, statistical, machine learning, neural network, and deep learning models to predict production outcomes based on the data source inputs. In some aspects, the data sources are processed, quality checked, and combined into composite data sources. In some aspects, ensemble modeling techniques can be applied to combine multiple data sources and multiple models. In some aspects, response features can be utilized as data inputs into the modeling process. In some aspects, time-series extracted features can be utilized as data inputs into the modeling process. In some aspects, the methods can be used to build a HF job plan prior to the start of work at a well site. In other aspects, the methods can be used to revise an existing HF job plan in real-time, such as after a treatment cycle, a pumping stage, or a time interval.

Hydraulic fracturing job plan real-time revisions utilizing collected time-series data

Disclosed are systems and methods for receiving historical production data associated with at least one hydraulic fracturing well, receiving time-series data associated with the at least one hydraulic fracturing well, the time-series data representing at least one type of data, receiving non-temporal data associated with the at least one hydraulic fracturing well, generating a machine learning model based on the historical production data, the time-series data associated with the at least one hydraulic fracturing well and based on an original job design during a first stage of the job at a particular hydraulic fracturing well, and the non-temporal data, determining an optimized job design for the particular hydraulic fracturing well having an objective function using a prediction based on the machine learning model, and implementing the optimized job design for the particular hydraulic fracturing well.
