Abstract
Effective hydraulic fracturing along with characterization of flow and reservoir properties is an important parameter for a successful shale gas development. In this study, a sensitivity analysis was conducted to evaluate the impact of fracture design parameters on the well performance in a hydraulically fractured shale gas reservoir using a simulation model. Gas recovery was higher when considering secondary fracture growth in shale gas reservoirs which have high natural fracture conductivity or low primary fracture conductivity.
