Numerical Simulation of Fluid Flow through Fractal-Based Discrete Fractured Network

Abstract: In recent years, multi-stage hydraulic fracturing technologies have greatly facilitated the development of unconventional oil and gas resources. However, a quantitative description of the “complexity” of the fracture network created by the hydraulic fracturing is confronted with many unsol...
