Interwell interference is a ubiquitous concern in shale reservoir development that results in
declines in productivity. It mainly appears when a high number of closely spaced …

Reliable prediction of the shale fracturing process is a challenging problem in exploiting
deep shale oil and gas resources. Complex fracture networks need to be artificially created …

Rock layering, a critical factor in determining fracture height growth, is pervasive in
Longmaxi shale formation in the southwest of China. This formation has characteristics of …

The effects of fracture distribution on the heat extraction performance of enhanced
geothermal system (EGS) are very significant. Referring to lots of EGS fracturing projects, the …

CO 2 sequestration and enhanced gas recovery (CS-EGR) of shale formation involve
complex multi-physics couplings, which are still not precisely captured by recent models. In …

Understanding and characterization of fracture propagation are crucial for enhancing the
stimulation of low-permeability gas reservoirs. This study investigates the effects of shale …

Natural fractures are the key factors controlling the enrichment of shale oil. It is of great
significance to clarify the distribution of natural fractures to guide the selection of sweet spots …

Coalbed methane (CBM) is an important global energy resource. However, reservoir
damage and wellbore collapse caused by water and chemical additives invasion are major …

Abstract 3D fracture network modeling remains a challenging work with the wide application
of microseismic monitoring in multi-stage hydraulic fracturing. Due to the existence of invalid …

A microseismic (MS) events barrier (MSEB) phenomenon was detected during infill well
fracturing of the Fuling shale gas reservoir. This phenomenon was evidenced by MS …
