Shale formations are being exploited in several places around the world. Thus, an adequate characterization of such formations is recommended. In this work, two interpretation methodologies—TDS technique and conventional analysis—are implemented for determining the fracture permeability, from interference tests, between two wells connected by a large hydraulic fracture. Therefore, equations have been developed for both interpretation techniques and tested with synthetic examples. The estimated fracture permeabilities closely match the values initially used for the simulation of the tests.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
