A study of transversely vs longitudinally fractured horizontal wells in a moderate-permeability gas reservoir

Transverse fractures created from horizontal wells are a common choice in tight and shale gas reservoirs. Previous work has shown that proppant pack permeability reduction due to non-Darcy flow in a transverse fracture from a horizontal well causes significant reduction in the fracture performance w...
