Production response at a horizontal well produced through multiple fractures at a constant rate to highlight Flow Regime 2; two values of fracture conductivity are considered, CFD of 1 and 5. The unbroken lines are the pressure, pwD, and derivative, , responses respectively. The dashed lines reflect the asymptotic solution, Flow Regime 2. Values of λ′ and ω′ are so chosen to facilitate fluid transfer and promote the duration of Flow Regime 2. The circles are solutions for a single fracture presented in the manner indicated by equation (58).
