Example Simulation Model Parameters In this section, we simplify the shale gas reservoir with complex micro-scale fractures into a combination of as a dual porosity continuum media and a discrete fracture media. Based on the discrete fracture model, the artificial fracture can be simplified as a surface element by using a reduction
