Analysis of pressure behaviors and flow regimes of naturally and hydraulically fractured unconventional gas reservoirs using multi-linear flow regimes approach

The main outcomes of this study are: 1) The ability to characterize reservoirs with triple porous media using multi-linear flow regimes approach. 2) Understanding the impact on pressure distribution of inner porous medium caused by the characteristics of hydraulic fractures such as fracture width and conductivity in addition to hydraulic fracture storativity. 3) Understanding the effect of reservoir configuration, matrix, and natural fractures characteristics on pressure distribution in the outer porous media. 4) Pressure distribution and flow regimes obtained by applying transient flow approach are not similar to those obtained by applying pseudo-steady state flow approach. 5) Characterization of different linear flow regimes, controlled by different parameters, with respect to production time.
