The oil industry has responded rapidly to the decline in oil prices of these last few months.

This paper sheds light on the nonlinear physics involved in the production of shale-gas reservoirs by improving the understanding of the complex relation between gas production, reservoir properties, and several treatment-design parameters.

The elliptical (conical) damage profile associated with horizontal wells is well-known, but review of industry-wide applications by different operators shows no corresponding uniform correlation between the damage profile and actual treatment volumes that have been applied.

Three observations have resulted from horizontal-well development in the Sulige tight gas field.
