Zusammenfassung:	A candidate hydraulic fracturing fluid composition containing proppant is selected for stimulating a subterranean formation. A bridging criterion is calculated based on the candidate fracturing fluid composition and the fracture geometry. A mathematical model and a hydraulic fracturing design are developed that consider the bridging criterion. The hydraulic fracturing design is further simulated using a computer-based fracturing simulator. Adjustments are made to the hydraulic fracturing design based on the simulation results such that bridging is minimized or avoided. A hydraulic fracturing treatment according to the final design is then performed. Une composition de fluide de fracturation hydraulique candidate contenant un agent de soutènement est sélectionnée pour stimuler une formation souterraine. Un critère de pontage est calculé sur la base de la composition de fluide de fracturation candidate et de la géométrie de la fracture. Un modèle mathématique et un modèle de fracturation hydraulique tenant compte du critère de pontage sont développés. Le modèle de fracturation hydraulique est en outre simulé à l'aide d'un simulateur de fracturation informatique. Des ajustements sont apportés au modèle de fracturation hydraulique sur la base des résultats de simulation ce qui permet de réduire au minimum ou d'éviter le pontage. Un traitement de fracturation hydraulique selon le modèle final est ensuite effectué.
