Pressure and reciprocal rate transient analysis for finite-conductivity vertical fractured hydrocarbon wells under trilinear flow

Abstract

Hydraulic well fracturing has been an important practice for well stimulation along the history of the hydrocarbon industry. Therefore, accurate and practical assessment of the fracturing job should be of importance. Interpretation of well pressure and rate test data in vertical finite-conductivity fractured hydrocarbon wells by the TDS methodology and conventional analysis are presented in this paper. The accuracy and practicality of the developed equations are successfully tested with synthetical examples and a field case.
