... to be a primary driver for the performance of shale gas/oil wells. Since linear flow is the main transient flow regime in the early life of a hydraulically-fractured shale gas/oil well, a Rate Normalized Pressure (RNP) versus Square Root of Time plot is the most commonly used diagnostic plot for the performance...

The other three simulations used a stochastically generated network of natural fractures and assumed that as hydraulic fractures propagated through the formation, they terminated when they intersected natural fractures. The termination process created complex...
