Abstract
The article describes a methodology developed for calculating the predicted performance of horizontal wells with multi-stage hydraulic fracturing with hybrid structures drilled in a reservoir that is heterogeneous in structure and properties. Tolerance technique for restoring geomechanical properties in the interval and repairing hydraulic fracturing fractures according to data from property cubes in the hydrodynamic model, automatic calculated fracture parameters in the hydraulic fracturing simulator according to a given design, a set of calculated fracture parameters in the hydrodynamic simulator.

Materials and methods
To solve the problem, the work proposes:
•    reconstruction of cubes of geomechanical properties according to data from cubes of properties in hydrodynamic model;
•    automatic construction of a 1D geomechanical model from cubes of geomechanical properties in each interval of hydraulic fracturing initiation;
•    transfer of 1D geomechanical model and injection design to the hydraulic fracturing simulator, automatic calculation of parameters and distribution of properties in the fracture;
•    transmission of the conductivity map to the hydrodynamic simulator, hydrodynamic calculation.

Keywords
