Simulation of Downhole Pressures for EE-2 and EE-3 Hydraulic Fracturing Experiments

The WBHT code was used to model EE-2 and EE-3 pumping experiments to simulate downhole pressures. In all cases it was assumed the wells were at original geothermal gradient conditions prior to pumping. For cases where friction reducer was added to the injected water, it was assumed friction pressure losses were reduced to 2/3. Friction reducer was generally added when pumping rates exceeded about 10 BPM.
