Investigation of liquid loading mechanism within hydraulic fractures in unconventional/tight gas reservoirs and its impact on productivity

One of the major challenges in fracturing low permeability/tight/unconventional gas formations is the loss of frac water and well productivity due to fluid entrapment in the matrix or fracture. Field results have indicated that only 15-30% of the frac fluid is recovered at the surface after flow bac...
