Evaluating Gas-Oil Ratio Behavior of Unconventional Wells in the Uinta Basin by Yajie Zhao, Jack Nohavitza, Ryan Williams, Wei Yu, Chuxi Liu, Reza Ganjdanesh, Kamy Sepehrnoori

“…This study provides some key insights into the GOR behaviors, such as the high sensitivity of the hydraulic fracture properties, including fracture conductivity and effective fracture half-length. The GOR behavior could be considerably different on various conductivity values or fracture lengths, resulting from the conductivity impact of phase movement and the pressure transition along the fracture. …”
