Impact of Fracture Design Parameters on the Production Performance in Hydraulically Fractured Shale Gas Reservoir

摘要

Effective hydraulic fracturing along with characterization of flow andrnreservoir properties is an important parameter for a successful shale gasrndevelopment. In this study, a sensitivity analysis was conducted tornevaluate the impact of fracture design parameters on the wellrnperformance in a hydraulically fractured shale gas reservoir using arnsimulation model. Gas recovery was higher when consideringrnsecondary fracture growth in shale gas reservoirs which have highrnnatural fracture conductivity or low primary fracture conductivity.
