Numerical simulation of three-dimensional fracturing fracture propagation in radial wells

W Tianyu, GUO Zhaoquan, LI Gensheng… - Petroleum Exploration …, 2023 - Elsevier
A fracture propagation model of radial well fracturing is established based on the finite
element-meshless method. The model considers the coupling effect of fracturing fluid flow …

Investigation of interference from multiple oriented hydraulic fractures while considering near-radial wellbore stress distribution

JJ Pidho, Y Cheng, C Yan - Journal of natural gas science and engineering, 2022 - Elsevier
Stratigraphic sequences are sometimes thin, rarely ideally horizontal and juxtaposed due to
faulting. Wellbore trajectories targeting such strata may not be necessarily horizontal …
