    Abstract: A system includes a processing device and a non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that are executable by the processing device to cause the system to perform operations. The operations include generating and running a reservoir simulation model. The reservoir and simulation model includes representative natural fracture or secondary porosity attributes for an area of interest for one or more wells. The operations also include generating a synthetic G-function response using results of the reservoir simulation model. Additionally, the operations include calibrating the synthetic G-function response from the reservoir simulation model to a field G-function response generated using results of a field diagnostic fracture injection test by changing natural fracture characteristics of the reservoir simulation model. Further, the operations include formulating a drilling plan, a completion plan, or both for a wellbore in the area of interest using the synthetic G-function response.
