Abstract In cemented and cased wells, perforation cluster spacing is optimized based on the type of reservoir fluid, permeability, fracture conductivity, proppant distribution, and associated stresses to place multiple fractures along horizontal wellbores. Specifically, in very low-permeability...

... in the Barnett and other shale plays have shown that production from shale reservoirs may be affected by the Young's modulus (YM) of the matrix, with lower YM shales being more affected by stress dependent network fracture conductivity (unpropped complex fracture fairway) ( Cipolla et al. 2010 ). Results showed...
