The horizontal well with multiple transverse fractures has proven to be an effective strategy
for shale gas reservoir exploitation. However, to improve the well design it is important to …

One of the key technologies that made the development of unconventional formations
possible is the creation of a complex fracture network. In most recent analytical models for …

The game changing technology enabling economic natural gas production from shale is the
multiple fracture well (MFTW), a horizontal well with multiple transverse fractures. The well …

The concept of depth of investigation is fundamental to well-test analysis. Much of the
current well-test analysis relies on solutions based on homogeneous or layered reservoirs …

This article is the first investigation on the fracture network heterogeneity flow for multiple
fractured horizontal wells in unconventional reservoirs. Currently, most modeling …

Multi-stage fractured horizontal wells are widely applied to develop tight reservoirs and
shale gas reservoirs. Testing and evaluating well productivity are necessary in horizontal …

This paper presents a new workflow comprised of using hydraulic fracture modeling outputs
(effective length, height, and conductivity) for the next step-a discrete fracture flow model …

Geological carbon storage is an effective method capable of reducing carbon dioxide (CO2)
emissions at significant scales. Subsurface reservoirs with sealing caprocks can provide …

Pressure depletion patterns near hydraulically fractured wells in ultra-low permeability
reservoirs occupy a much larger region than outlined by fluid withdrawal contours. When …

Recent research into transient reservoir response has developed a novel formulation of the
diffusivity equation to model pressure, rate, and production, especially for unconventional …
