Horizontal Shale Oil Production Wells Experience Hydraulic Fracture Choking Effect Under Closure Stress

The choke effect of hydraulic fractures on a horizontal shale oil well during production is shown using a coupled matrix–fracture–wellbore flow simulation model. The effect is the consequence of a significant loss in hydraulic fracture conductivity near the wellbore due to fracture closure stress. A...
