One of the results, this work proposes a new correlating parameter of effective fracture conductivity for extended height fractured well. This correlating parameter enable ones to determine pseudo-skin factor which then can be used to compute well productivity. Two other important results are presented, they are: (i) Extending fracture height beyond the reservoir thickness at constant fracture length increases fracture conductivity until it reaches a maximum value at an optimum fracture height. (ii) The increase of fracture conductivity by extending fracture height greater than reservoir thickness is also true for the case of constant fracture volume provided that fracture height is less than 1/0.727 times fracture half-length (xf). These are different perspectives from Bennett’s proposal stating that at constant fracture length, increasing fracture height always increases effective fracture conductivity, and at constant fracture volume, extending fracture height beyond reservoir thickness lower effective fracture conductivity.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Extended fracture height,Fracture conductivity,Hydraulic fracture,Pseudo-skin factor,Well productivity[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
