Abstract
The goal in unconventional reservoirs is to contact as much rock as possible with a fracture or a fracture network of appropriate conductivity. This objective is typically accomplished by drilling horizontal wells and placing multiple transverse fracs along the lateral. While most parameters are considered in great detail in the completion design.
