A solution methodology and mathematical formulation for an induced hydraulic Discrete
Fracture Network (DFN) numerical simulator is presented. Although most conventional …

Hydraulic fracture network (HFN) propagation in naturally fractured shale formations is
investigated numerically using a 3D complex fracturing model based on the discrete …

Complex fracture networks have become more evident in shale reservoirs as a result of the
interaction between pre-existing natural fractures (NFs) and hydraulic fractures (HFs) …

Successful creations of multiple hydraulic fractures in horizontal wells are critical for
economic development of unconventional reservoirs. The recent advances in diagnostic …

The integration of microseismic measurements with complex fracture models can provide a
much-needed constraint to the interpretation of complex fracture growth. With this constraint …

The recent advances in micro-seismic monitoring suggest that hydraulic fracturing
stimulation in unconventional reservoirs (shale-gas) has often caused complex fracture …
