A Multi-Parameter Optimization Model for the Evaluation of Shale Gas Recovery Enhancement

Although a multi-stage hydraulically fractured horizontal well in a shale reservoir initially produces gas at a high production rate, this production rate declines rapidly within a short period and the cumulative gas production is only a small fraction (20–30%) of the estimated gas in place.
