This paper presents a hybrid method for modeling hydraulic fracture propagation in an
unconventional shale formation with frictional and cemented natural fractures. The hybrid …

The characterization of artificial fracture propagation law in the fracturing process of shale
reservoirs is the basis for evaluating the fracture conductivity and a key indicator of the …

In the present manuscript fracture propagation in a saturated porous medium is modeled
based on the classical Biot theory, where solid skeleton and fluid flow are represented by …

Sustainably reusing mine tailings and reducing the economic costs of storing them is an
ongoing concern in the geomechanics field. This paper discusses the process of utilizing …

The combination of horizontal well drilling and staged fracturing technology is one of the
most effective ways to increase unconventional oil and gas production. The orientation of the …

The existing hydrate exploitation technology is characterized by low gas production in single
wells and a small exploitation range, owing to the low porosity and low permeability of …

Understanding hydraulic fracture propagation behaviours is vital for optimizing fracturing
design in oil and gas production. It has been observed that the stress and pore pressure …

Creating a complex fracture network by hydraulic fracturing was an essential technic for the
development of ultra-deep reservoirs. Due to the effect of thermal stress field on fracture …

The fracture distribution and internal control factors after the fracturing of unconventional oil
and gas reservoirs determine the reservoir reforming effect to a large extent. Based on the …

Hydraulic fracturing is one of the principle technologies employed for achieving the efficient
development of shale oil and gas reservoirs, and the bedding plane of the reservoir is a key …
