Horizontal well fracturing technology for reservoirs with low permeability

The horizontal well stress distribution and the rock failure criterion constitute a fracture initiation mathematical model, which was solved by the iteration method. Minimum horizontal principal stress and vertical principal stress have different influences on the fracture initiation pressure when t...
