Hydraulic fracturing in naturally fractured reservoirs and the impact of geomechanics on microseismicity

Hydraulic fracturing in tight gas and shale gas reservoirs is an essential stimulation technique for production enhancement. Often, hydraulic fracturing induces fracture patterns that are more complex than the planar geometry that has been assumed in the past models. These complex patterns arise a...
