Along with horizontal drilling techniques, multi-stage hydraulic fracturing has improved shale
gas production significantly in past decades. In order to understand the mechanism of …

Different from the conventional oil reservoirs, the primary storage space of shale is
micro/nano pore networks. Moreover, the multiscale and multi-minerals characteristics of …

基于水平井体积改造理论研究和10 年现场应用情况, 进一步诠释体积改造的核心内涵,
分析体积改造的实现方法, 设计模型与关键问题, 提出了未来发展方向. 研究表明 …

Natural fractures have long been suspected as a factor in production from shale reservoirs
because gas and oil production commonly exceeds the rates expected from low-porosity …

This article reviews the effect of weak interfaces on crack propagation in rock and some
other analogous brittle materials from phenomenon to mechanism. In this review, a variety of …

As a clean fossil fuel with great reserves, natural gas hydrate (NGH) is widely regarded as
an important future alternative energy source. NGH is widely distributed in onshore tundra …

Successfully creating multiple hydraulic fractures in horizontal wells is critical for
unconventional gas production economically. Optimizing the stimulation of these wells will …

Objectives and Scope: The geometry and extent of the hydraulic-fracture network produced
during well stimulation are generally not well known. Indirect methods such as microseismic …

This work presents phase field fracture modeling in heterogeneous porous media. We
develop robust and efficient numerical algorithms for pressure-driven and fluid-driven …

Magma transport in brittle rock occurs by diking. Understanding the dynamics of diking and
its observable consequences is essential to deciphering magma propagation in volcanic …
