The lifetime performance prediction of fractured horizontal wells in tight reservoirs

Moreover, integrating the new models with the pseudo steady state (PSS) productivity index formulation proposed previously by the authors, a new approach is presented that covers the identified flow regimes, i.e. the formation linear, the compound linear and PSS flow regimes and the transition periods in between. The outcome of this study can be used for tasks such as well testing, production performance analysis, forecasting and optimisation of MFHWs design.
