Methods of Decline Curve Analysis for Shale Gas Reservoirs In this article, the eight most popular deterministic decline curve methods are reviewed: Arps, Logistic Growth Model,
Hydrulic Fracture
Numerical and Experimental Investigations of the Interactions between Hydraulic and Natural Fractures in Shale Formations The inelastic deformation, e.g., stick, slip and separation, of the geologic
And three concepts were proposed, i.e., shale gas fracture network, ideal fracture network and appropriate-stimulation degree of fracture network. The study results indicate that, at
