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

“…The fracture design factors like drawdown scenario and cluster spacing also play indispensable roles in impacting the GOR response, where a less aggressive drawdown rate can help to delay the GOR increase at an early stage; a widening spacing also can mitigate the rise of GOR and keep it at low value during the whole production period. The impact from natural fractures is also examined and discussed for the first time, including the effect of natural fracture numbers and conductivity, where the latter variable is considered as a more effective contributor to the GOR prediction. …”
