Energy demand in Indonesia is increasing year by year. High population growth is directly proportional to the growing demand for energy. Meanwhile, the reserves of conventional hydrocarbon energy sources are increasingly becoming thinner. Coal Bed Methane (CBM) is one of alternative energy of nonconventional hydrocarbon which has abundant potency in Indonesia. Data from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources show that the potential of CBM in Indonesia is 453 TCF spread in the basins located in Sumatra, Kalimantan, Java and Sulawesi. <br /> <br /> <br /> Coal other than a source rock from CBM is also a reservoir of CBM itself. CBM is stored on a matrix of coal having double porosity, ie micropores (pores located in the coal matrix) and macropores (fractures in coal). The productivity of the CBM reservoir depends on the permeability of the fracture and the speed of desorption and diffusion of CBM. Hydraulic Fracturing is one of the operations that can be done with the aim to improve the productivity of low CBM wells. By performing hydraulic fracturing operations, the conductivity of the reservoir will increase. The role of proppante is very important in hydraulic fracturing operations as a fracture buffer that has been made. Therefore, the selection of fracture, proppant size, proppant concentration, pumping rate, and the type of fluid fracture are very important to note. This study aims to determine the parameters of hydraulic fracturing at the horizontal CBM well X so as to provide the most optimal productivity. The study was conducted by literature study method that is sourced from books, journals, papers, and other scientific publications and simulated hydraulic fracturing operation using one of commercial software. <br /> <br /> <br /> Based on the study, it can be concluded that the hydraulic fracturing operation with the number of fractures amounted to three fractures, PrimeFrac 30 fracture fluid, proppante concentration 7 PPA, proppante size 16/30 (Badger Sand), and 12 bpm pumping rate produces the most optimum well productivity reviewed of the resulting IPR curve. The above scenarios also provide the highest fold of increase (FOI) value compared to other scenarios.
