Fractal Characterization of Complex Hydraulic Fractures in Oil Shale via Topology

The formation of complex fracture networks through the fracturing technology is a crucial operation used to improve the production capacity of tight gas/oil. In this study, physical simulation experiments of hydraulic fracturing were conducted with a true triaxial test system on cubic shale oil samp...
