Numerical Simulation Study on Propagation of Initial Microcracks in Cement Sheath Body during Hydraulic Fracturing Process

Microcracks caused by perforating operations in a cement sheath body and interface have the potential to further expand or even cause crossflow during hydraulic fracturing. Currently, there are few quantitative studies on the propagation of initial cement-body microcracks. In this paper, a three-dim...
