Abstract
A downhole hydraulic fracturing system and method utilizing downhole pressure pulsing to enhance fracture propagation, proppant transport, and reservoir permeability. The system employs a hybrid fracturing approach that integrates conventional hydraulic fracturing with downhole pulse hydraulic fracturing. This hybrid technique reduces surface energy demands, enhances fracture initiation, increases fracture density, and improves proppant distribution, thereby maximizing reservoir permeability and overall production efficiency. The system is configured to include: a mechanism that enables real-time, surface-controlled adjustment of pulse intensity; a downhole system capable of generating self-sustained pulsing independent of tubular movement, a downhole sensor system configured to detect, record, and analyze downhole fluid pressure and other critical parameters and additional embodiments that enhance energy transfer efficiency, increase fracture complexity, and optimize proppant transport.
