Hydrodynamic Equilibrium Simulation and Shut-in Time Optimization for Hydraulically Fractured Shale Gas Wells

Post-fracturing well shut-in is traditionally due to the elastic closure of hydraulic fractures and proppant compaction. However, for shale gas wells, the extension of shut-in time may improve the post-fracturing gas production due to formation energy supplements by fracturing-fluid imbibition. This...
