A simple mathematical model for predicting the performance of vertical and horizontal wells intersecting fractures in the transient and steady-state stages.
This model predicts the transient pressure behavior during the increasing pressure and declining pressure stages.
Useful tool for productivity analyses of hydraulically fractured wells during the rapid decline stage.
The model is compared with real well data.
The model generalizes previous mathematical models and it is consistent with transient flow analyses of bilinear flow.
