Interwell interference is a ubiquitous concern in shale reservoir development that results in
declines in productivity. It mainly appears when a high number of closely spaced …

Well production rates decline quickly in the tight reservoirs, and enhanced oil recovery
(EOR) is needed to increase productivity. Conventional flooding from adjacent wells is …

The production of multi-stage fractured horizontal wells (MFHWs) decline fast, and water cut
quickly increase after short producing period. How to evaluate well performance and …

Multistage hydraulic fracturing is widely used in developing tight reservoirs. However, the
economic and environmental burden of freshwater souring, transportation, treatment, and …

This study presents a workflow to optimize the location of CO2 injectors in order to maximize
stored volume and prevent fault reactivation due to increases of pore pressure. We combine …

Severe well interference through complex fracture networks (CFNs) can be observed among
multi-well pads in low permeability reservoirs. The well interference analysis between multi …

Transient flow around hydraulic fractures is an important topic in the study of tight reservoirs.
In this work, the Embedded Discrete Fracture Model (EDFM) is combined with nested local …

Advances in hydraulic fracturing technology are promoting global interest in the simulation
of the transient flow in fractured porous media. Boundary element method (BEM) is widely …

The confinement effects including capillarity and adsorption play a significant role in phase
behavior and transport of shale fluids. The effect of capillary pressure has been widely …

An enormous amount of fracturing fluid is irreducible in the tight formation after hydraulic
fracturing stimulation. This will cause serious damage to the fracture face as well as the …
