Performance Prediction of Refractured Wells Based on Embedded Discrete-Fracture Modeling Method
Geofluids, 2022 In unconventional reservoirs, the production rate of the initially fractured well will decrease rapidly as the development proceeds. In order to maintain economic well productivity of the initial fracture, the industries can create refractures to prevent
