Characteristics of Fracture Propagation Induced by Supercritical CO2 in Inter-Salt-Shale Reservoir

Hydraulic fracturing using freshwater is difficult for the commercial exploitation of a shale oil reservoir in Jianghan Basin with a continental saline lake basin sedimentary background. Supercritical CO2 (SC-CO2) is a promising fracturing fluid under consideration for the reservoir stimulation, esp...
