Effect of Multiple Flow Pulses on Hydraulic Fracture Network Propagation in Naturally Fractured Volcanic Rock

Exploring engineering methods for increasing fracture network complexity is important for the development of unconventional oil and gas reservoirs. In this study, we conducted a series of fracturing experiments on naturally fractured volcanic samples. An injection method, multiple flow pulses, is pr...
