An analytical model for describing sequential initiation and simultaneous propagation of multiple fractures in hydraulic fracturing shale oil/gas formations

Abstract Frac‐driven interactions (FDI) cause sharp declines in gas and oil production rates followed by slow recovery or no recovery. How to minimize the FDI is an open problem for researchers and engineers to solve in the energy industry. An analytical model is presented in this paper for simulati...
