Overview

This analysis finds optimal cluster spacing and fracture conditions in shale gas wells, indicating significant improvement potential.

Key Points

  • A fracture conductivity of 0.1 mD-m is necessary for effective gas drainage.
  • Minimum cluster spacing of 6 meters and an optimal spacing of 6 to 15 meters maximize productivity.
  • Three sensitivity analyses were performed to evaluate conductivity, stress shadow effects, and cluster spacing.
  • Insights gained can enhance completion design and boost shale gas production in the Sichuan Basin.
