The Shear Mechanisms of Natural Fractures during the Hydraulic Stimulation of Shale Gas Reservoirs
The shearing of natural fractures is important in the permeability enhancement of shale gas reservoirs during hydraulic fracturing treatment. In this work, the shearing mechanisms of natural fractures are analyzed using a newly proposed numerical model based on the displacement discontinuities metho...
