Abstract
The optimal primary production design would recommend 6 wells per section with 130 m fracture half length and smaller fracture height. In terms of the sensitivity ranking, fracture spacing and conductivity are more important for short-term production, while well spacing and fracture half length are more important for long-term depletion.
