The fracturing properties and acoustic characteristics of heterogeneous and matrix-inclusion
rocks are crucial to the safety of underground infrastructures and mining projects under …

The microstructure of rock plays a vital role in the deformation and fracturing process when
subjected to external loading. Conglomerate, being a pivotal part of unconventional …

The fracture and mechanics response during fracturing simulation for the heterogeneous
glutenite is crucial for reservoir stimulation. In this work, a non-overlapping algorithm for the …

Reservoir characterization, assessing rock mechanical properties, and stress state are
essential factors for exploration and development of a hydrocarbon or geothermal reservoir …

Due to the existence of gravel, glutenite is heterogeneous and different from fine-grained
rocks such as sandstone and shale in structure. To fully understand the effect of gravel on …

Research on reservoir rock stress sensitivity has traditionally focused on unary granular
structures, neglecting the binary nature of real reservoirs, especially tight reservoirs …

Tight reservoirs are typically developed by horizontal wells and multi-stage hydraulic
fracturing. The conglomerate reservoir is one type of tight reservoirs, which is different from …

The nonhomogeneity of conglomerate in terms of organization and the complexity of fracture
extension make the design and effective implementation of fracturing in conglomerate …

Gravel is one of the main factors affecting the mechanical properties of conglomerates,
which plays a decisive role in crack propagation. In this paper, taking the conglomerate of …

Glutenite reservoirs are characterized by strong heterogeneity, large thickness, complex
rock fabric, and low maturity in terms of structure and composition, which makes the division …
