Numerical Investigation into the Effect of Natural Fracture Density on Hydraulic Fracture Network Propagation
Hydraulic fracturing is an important method to enhance permeability in oil and gas exploitation projects and weaken hard roofs of coal seams to reduce dynamic disasters, for example, rock burst. It is necessary to fully understand the mechanism of the initiation, propagation, and coalescence of hydr...
