“…Tight reservoirs are usually developed using horizontal well and hydraulic fracturing techniques but have very low recoveries (Wang et al 2018). Sustainability of production rates is the key challenge among the various other challenges in developing a tight reservoir (Dahraj et al 2018). Following parameters are considered in designing a hydraulic fracture treatment: wellbore configuration, reservoir parameters, rock strength, reservoir stress distributions, porosity and permeability, injection rate and pump schedule and other critical operational parameters including size, number and location, phasing angle of perforations, fluid and proppant type (Salman 2015;Sharma et al 2019;Kolawole et al 2019).…”
