Using RTA to Aid ResFrac History Matching

In the cases with finite conductivity, we see a pressure gradient within the fracture, the degree of which scales with the E0 value.

Rate Transient Analysis (RTA) is commonly used to analyze production in unconventional reservoirs. The concept of RTA is to use rate signatures of producing wells to estimate properties such as permeability and fracture surface area. For more detailed analysis, fracture simulators, reservoir simulators, and coupled fracture/reservoir simulators, like ResFrac, can be used.
