Flow simulation results for the layered model (see Figure 19B). The black curve is the cumulative production when there is cross-facies flow in the Wolfcamp A model. The red curve is the cumulative production when there is no cross-facies flow, and it represents the lower bound performance in the Wolfcamp A model. The gray curve is the cumulative production when there is cross-facies flow, and the permeability in the high-permeability layer is very high (i.e., 109 nd); it represents the upper bound performance in the Wolfcamp A model. The blue curve is the cumulative production when there is cross-facies flow in the Wolfcamp B model. The dashed lines represent the matched production behavior in the Wolfcamp A (green) and Wolfcamp B (orange) using a single upscaled permeability (kups) in a homogeneous model. The recovery factor (RF) is the cumulative produced pore volume over the maximum producible pore volume for the given model parameters. The RF is 100% when the pore pressure in the domain equilibrates with the pressure in the fracture. The horizontal axis is represented as
