Mechanics and fracturing techniques of deep shale from the Sichuan Basin, SW China

Deep shale gas exploration and production in Fuling (Sichuan Basin, SW China) are confronted with hydraulic fracturing challenges owing to high stress, high fracture pressure, low pump rate and proppant concentration, as well as high closing pressure in deep strata. This study focused on the mechani...
