Abstract
Characteristics of a reservoir may be used to generate multiple models of the reservoir with hydraulic fractures. Simulated configurations of the hydraulic fractures in the models may be used to select one or more of the models as representative model(s) for the reservoir. The representative model(s) may be used in development of the reservoir. Hydraulic fracturing may increase productivity at shale and tight rock reservoir by creating more effective flow paths to production.
