Abstract
A system for hydraulic fracturing in a shale layer of a geological formation is described. The system includes a borehole which extends between surface of geological formation and shale layer, and a horizontal fracturing pipe which extends perpendicularly from borehole into the shale layer. The horizontal fracturing pipe includes a number of periodic perforations. The system includes a pump and a fracturing fluid to be injected by the pump into borehole and horizontal fracturing pipe. The fracturing fluid is injected through periodic perforations and stimulates fractures in shale layer. The system includes a pressure sensor and a fluid meter. The pressure sensor measures pressure of fracturing fluid in horizontal fracturing pipe. A computing device determines the spacing distance of the perforations based on a percentage of interference between the perforation and a net present value of production.
