Hydraulic Fracture Extending into Network in Shale: Reviewing Influence Factors and Their Mechanism

Hydraulic fracture in shale reservoir presents complex network propagation, which has essential difference with traditional plane biwing fracture at forming mechanism. Based on the research results of experiments, field fracturing practice, theory analysis, and numerical simulation, the influence fa...
