For the fractured vertical well the geometrical skin-factor
is related to
Fracture half-length as:

S_G= -\ln \left(\frac{X_f}{r_w} \right) + \frac{1.65 -0.328 \, u + 0.116 \, u^2}{1+0.18 \, u + 0.064 \, u^2 +0.05 \, u^3} |
where
In case of high dimensionless hydraulic fracture conductivity (corresponding to infinite conductivity fracture case) the skin-factor model can be simplified:
