Discrete Element Analysis for Hydraulic Fracture Propagations in Laminated Reservoirs with Complex Initial Joint Properties
Previous studies on hydraulic fracturing mainly focus on the effects of the in-situ stress state, permeability, fracturing fluids, and approach angle in homogeneous rocks, but the impacts of joint mechanical properties in laminated shale reservoirs on the propagation and formation of the fracture ne...
