Evaluating well performance and completion effectiveness in low-permeability gas wells
Hydraulic-fracture stimulation often determines the economic outcome of wells completed in low-permeability gas reservoirs. The full-length paper discusses various analysis methods for fractured wells and demonstrates the integrated use of practical reservoir-engineering methods to evaluate well performance and distinguish between reservoir-and completion-induced behavior in low-permeability hydraulically fractured gas wells.
