Integrate Fracture Closure with Water Hammer Model to Estimate Hydraulic Fracture Dimensions: Field Case Studies with Microseismic Validation
To improve the accuracy of fracture geometry interpretation using water hammer data, we propose the G-function-based resistive/capacitive/inertance (G-RCI) model to address the limitation of the traditional RCI equivalent-circuit water hammer model, which neglects closure-related pressure decline after shut-in. The G...
