4 Length, conductivity and equivalent skin effect

❖In subsequent work, Agarawal, Gardner, Kleinsteiber,

and Fussell(1979) and Cinco-Ley and Samaniego
(1981) introduced the fracture dimensionless
conductivity( 𝐶𝑓𝐷 ) which is exactly:
𝑘𝑓 𝑤
𝐶𝑓𝐷 = (4.8)
𝑘𝑥𝑓

and is related to Prats’s a by:

𝜋
𝐶𝑓𝐷 = (4.9)
2𝑎
where: 𝐶𝑓𝐷 : fracture dimensionless conductivity.
𝑎: pressure profiles in a fractured reservoir.
