Impact of Stress-Dependent Matrix and Fracture Properties on Shale Gas Production
Unconventional shale gas production is often characterized by a short period of high production followed by a rapid decline in the production rate. Given the high costs of hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, it is critical to identify the mechanisms behind the production loss. The existing...
