This paper suggests the simplified correlation ratios, that are an approximate analytical representation of exact numerical solution, for evaluation of fracturing characteristics of the fractured reservoirs with the use of decline curves. Formalization and automation methods are suggested for finding fractured reservoir approximate parameters and range of uncertainty under the Warren-Root model.
