A criterion for identifying a mixed-mode I/II hydraulic fracture crossing a natural fracture in the subsurface

Hydraulic fracturing has been proven to be an effective technique for stimulating petroleum reservoirs. During the hydraulic fracturing process, the effects of the natural fracture, perforation orientation, stress reorientation, etc. lead to the production of a non-planar, mixed-mode I/II hydraulic...
