Numerical Investigation of Fracture Compressibility and Uncertainty on Water-Loss and Production Performance in Tight Oil Reservoirs

Multi-stage hydraulic fracturing along with horizontal wells are widely used to create complex fracture networks in tight oil reservoirs. Analysis of field flowback data shows that most of the fracturing fluids are contained in a complex fracture network, and fracture-closure is the main driving mec...
