The finite conductivity fracture model in AFA is the “Fractal-Fracture Solution” presented by Cossio Santizo (2012). It is a combination of the trilinear flow model and the fractal diffusivity equation. The solution allows us to approximate the Cinco-Ley and Meng solution (1988) for hydraulically fractured vertical wells with finite conductivity.
