## Description

This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools for hydraulic fracturing analysis. It allows AI agents to determine base fracture conductivity using proppant concentration, permeability, and width. Users can evaluate fracture effectiveness by calculating the dimensionless conductivity (Fcd) and estimate how reservoir stress affects proppant permeability via `estimate_stress_degradation`. Finally, it predicts the expected increase in well productivity based on conductivity targets. It is designed to bridge the gap between reservoir engineering data and AI-driven decision making.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the fracture conductivity for a width of 0.2 inches, proppant concentration of 5 lb/ft3, and permeability of 2000 darcy.
```

**Response:** 
```
The calculated fracture conductivity is 400 darcy-inches.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How much will permeability degrade if effective stress is 5000 psi with a crush coefficient of 0.01 and initial permeability of 2000 darcy?
```

**Response:** 
```
The degraded permeability is 1500 darcy, representing a 25% loss.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Estimate the productivity gain if current Fcd is 2.0, target Fcd is 10.0, and base production is 500 bbl/d.
```

**Response:** 
```
The expected production increase is 150 bbl/d, resulting in a productivity ratio of 1.3.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I calculate the base conductivity?**
Use the `calculate_fracture_conductivity` tool by providing the proppant concentration, initial proppant permeability, and the physical fracture width.

**Can I account for proppant crushing?**
Yes, the `estimate_stress_degradation` tool allows you to adjust permeability based on effective stress and a specific material's crush coefficient.

**What is Fcd?**
Fcd is the dimensionless conductivity, a ratio used to determine if a fracture is effectively conductive relative to the reservoir's permeability and half-length. You can calculate this using `calculate_dimensionless_conductivity`.
