Shale well performance optimization using Gaussian to improve production, history matching, and fracture design decisions
Gaussian showed that completion design choices in shales matter: 30-ft fracture spacing delivered ~70,000 bbl more than 100-ft spacing over 3,000 days, while higher-conductivity proppant increased cumulative production from ~170,000 to ~230,000 bbl.

Stage-level fracture diagnostics from post-frac job reports for Eagle Ford shale
Gaussian converted routine post-frac reports of Eagle Ford 22-stage well into stage-level fracture dimensions and validated the result against independent production-history matches using CMG-IMEX, with only ~9.5% difference from GPT.
