#### Sensitivity Analysis: Effective Number of Fractures
203+
204+
To evaluate the bounding envelope of the reservoir's thermal drawdown, a sensitivity analysis was performed on the effective `Number of Fractures`.
205+
The calibrated baseline model assumes {{ input_params['Number of Fractures'] }} parallel fractures.
206+
By varying this parameter (ranging from 57 to 69 fractures), the analytical model demonstrates the sensitivity of the
207+
long-term thermal decline to the idealized fracture surface area.
