The Experimental Investigation of Hydraulic Fracture Propagation Characteristics in Glutenite Formation

Hydraulic fracture propagation characteristics in glutenite formation are studied by a series of servo-controlled triaxial large-scale fracturing experiments. The experimental results show that the fractures extend along the gravel and sandstone cementing face, and fracture geometry in glutenite for...
