Comparative study of well soaking timing (pre vs. post flowback) for water blockage removal from matrix-fracture interface

Water blockage after hydraulic fracturing is one of the major challenges in shale oil recovery which affects the optimal production from the reservoir. The water blockage represents a higher water saturation near the matrix-fracture interface, which decreases the hydrocarbon relative permeability. T...
