It characterises the pressure drop at well-reservoir contact due to well-reservoir contact geometry.

The geometrical skin is negative for fractured wells and slanted.

It also negative for horizontal wells when lateral permeability is not much lower than vertical.

The geometrical skin is positive for limited entry wells. – formation transmissibility
