- Abstract
Shale formations are being exploited in several places around the world. Thus, an adequate characterization of such formations is recommended. In this work, two interpretation methodologies—TDS technique and conventional analysis—are implemented for determining the fracture permeability, from interference tests, between two wells connected by a large hydraulic fracture. Therefore, equations have been developed for both interpretation techniques and tested with synthetic examples. The estimated fracture permeabilities closely match the values initially used for the simulation of the tests.
