A Fully Three Dimensional Semianalytical Model for Shale Gas Reservoirs with Hydraulic Fractures The shale gas diffusion equations considers complex transport mechanism such as gas slippage and gas diffusion. This semianalytical model is verified with a commercial software and an analytical method for single fully penetrated rectangle fracture, and the production

Hydraulic Fracture Design with a Proxy Model for Unconventional Shale Gas Reservoir with Considering Feasibility Study
Hydraulic Fracture Design with a Proxy Model for Unconventional Shale Gas Reservoir with Considering Feasibility Study The proxy model uses a robust regression scheme and can replace a commercial reservoir simulator. The proxy model proposed can determine the influence of impact factors on the production at each production time. The calculation

An Analytical Flow Model for Heterogeneous Multi-Fractured Systems in Shale Gas Reservoirs Tang et al. [4] established a three-dimensional numerical model based on the construction of spatial discretization by the finite volume method. Wang [5] proposed a unified model for shale gas reservoirs based on discrete fracture networks to investigate shale
Numerical Study of Simultaneous Multiple Fracture Propagation in Changning Shale Gas Field
Numerical Study of Simultaneous Multiple Fracture Propagation in Changning Shale Gas Field A series of case studies were investigated to analyze the effects of engineering parameters on simultaneous multiple fracture propagation. The fracture spacing, perforating number, injection rate, fluid viscosity and number of fractures within one stage were considered. The simulation
