Half of the total length of the hydraulically induced vertical plane fracture (see Fig. 1).
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
| dimensionless hydraulic fracture conductivity |
In case of high dimensionless hydraulic fracture conductivity (corresponding to infinite conductivity fracture case) the skin-factor model can be simplified:
S_G = -\ln \left(\frac{X_f}{2\, r_w} \right) |
