This article examines methodological approaches to evaluating Hydraulic Fracturing (HF) efficiency, using the M field as a case study. A comprehensive analysis of the geological and technical conditions, reservoir structure, and initial rock filtration properties was conducted. HF effectiveness was assessed by comparing oil production rate dynamics and productivity changes before and after the operations. Focus was placed on factors influencing HF success, including permeability, natural fracturing, and reservoir saturation. The results offer practical recommendations for optimizing HF design and execution in reservoirs deeper than 500 m, thus enhancing field development efficiency.</p> <p>Objective. This work presents Kazakhstan's first practical experience implementing Hydraulic Fracturing (HF) in an unconventional reservoir: a poorly cemented, high-permeability formation containing high-viscosity oil at a shallow depth.</p> <p>Materials and Methods. The analysis utilized field observation data and official reports on HF operations conducted at the M field. Specialized FracPro software was used to model the reservoir's geomechanical and filtration properties and to simulate fractures based on actual pumping parameters. These models were compared against executed HF results to assess design conformance and analyze the effectiveness of the implemented procedures.</p> <p>Results. The study analyzed the actual HF operations performed on wells at the M field. Modeling of fracture parameters was conducted in FracPro using real-world injection data. Comparing the calculated and actual performance indicators allowed for the evaluation of treatment efficacy, validation of achieved production rates against design expectations, and identification of key result-influencing factors.</p> <p>Conclusion. The findings confirm the necessity of further optimization in HF design and execution at the M field, particularly regarding the refinement of injection parameters and correction of the model's filtration-storage characteristics. This comprehensive analytical approach not only improves the efficacy of already performed treatments but also forms the basis for selecting optimal candidates and enhancing HF design in future projects.Keywords: hydraulic fracturing, machine learning, automation, well selection, forecasting, data analysis, HF efficiency.</p>hydraulic fracturing, sand production, filter, frequently repaired well stock, workover interval, data analysis, HF efficiency.гидравлический разрыв пласта, пескопроявление, фильтр, часто ремонтируемый фонд, межремонтный период, анализ данных, эффективность ГРП.1.M.
