Propagation of hydraulic fracture under the joint impact of bedding planes and natural fractures in shale reservoirs

Abstract The generation of the complex fracture network through hydraulic fracturing is a prerequisite for economic exploitation of shale gas. Bedding planes and natural fractures in shale reservoirs exert a direct impact on the propagation of hydraulic fracture and the formation of the complex frac...
