A method for treating a subterranean formation comprising measuring mechanical properties of a formation comprising Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, and in-situ stress; determining formation fracture height based on the mechanical properties; estimating number and location of hydraulic fractures based on the determining; identifying hydraulic fracturing treatment stages based on the estimating; and performing hydraulic fracturing treatments in the stages. A method for treating a subterranean formation comprising measuring mechanical properties of a formation comprising Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, and in-situ stress; determining a target zone based on the mechanical properties; estimating number and location of hydraulic fractures based on the determining; identifying hydraulic fracturing treatment stages based on the estimating; and performing hydraulic fracturing treatments in the stages.
