An experimental investigation of the nonlinear gas flow and stress‐dependent permeability of shale fractures

Abstract The fluid flow characteristics in shale fractures are of great significance for shale gas reservoir evaluation and exploitation. In this study, artificial tension fractures in shale were used to simulate the hydraulic fractures formed by fracturing, and a gas flow test under different press...
