Study on the Interaction Mechanism of Hydraulic Fracture and Natural Fracture in Shale Formation

Effect of Hydraulic Fracture on the Fractured Reservoir Based on the Connection with Natural Fractures

Hydraulic fracturing in the fractured reservoirs plays a significant impact on the production rate. In this study, the hydrostatic condition is taken into account, the hydraulic fracturing operation was applied in every direction usinga written distinct element code. In each direction the hydraulic fracture is applied with different lengths and in each level the amount of production is predicte...

Hydraulic Fracture Extending into Network in Shale: Reviewing Influence Factors and Their Mechanism

Hydraulic fracture in shale reservoir presents complex network propagation, which has essential difference with traditional plane biwing fracture at forming mechanism. Based on the research results of experiments, field fracturing practice, theory analysis, and numerical simulation, the influence factors and their mechanism of hydraulic fracture extending into network in shale have been systema...

Study of Natural and Hydraulic Fracture Interaction Using Semi- Circular Bending Experiments APPROVED BY SUPERVISING COMMITTEE:

Hydraulic Fracture Propagation near a Natural Discontinuity

The trajectory of a hydraulically driven crack near natural fractures, faults, and inhomogeneities has been studied using the complex variable hypersingular boundary element technique. The crack trajectories are presented for the cases of an oblique and a steeply inclined fault. It has been demonstrated that natural fractures, faults, and other inhomogeneities generate unstable fracture conÞgur...
