... fracturing operations. The model assumes that each fracturing stage can be represented by a primary hydraulic fracture (PHF, containing the majority of the proppant), and adjacent non-stimulated reservoir (NSR) or enhanced fracture region (EFR, area of elevated permeability in reservoir caused...

... water and hydrocarbon production during flowback and early-time production for tight oil wells. Two flow regions are assumed: a primary hydraulic fracture (PHF) and an enhanced fracture region (EFR) adjacent to the hydraulic fracture, where reservoir permeability has been enhanced due to stimulation...
