This work aims to address a challenge posed by recent observations of tightly spaced
hydraulic fractures in core samples from the hydraulic fracturing test site (HFTS) in the …

Complex, non-planar fracture geometry is often observed in multi-stage hydraulic fracturing.
The opening of hydraulic fractures results in a disturbance of local stress, which in turn …

A novel integrated approach that couples hydraulic fracturing and production simulation was
proposed for Marcellus shale gas reservoir. A discrete element method based hydraulic …

The results of numerical simulations of hydraulic fracturing based on the concept of lattice, a
grain based method, are presented. Five cases of numerical simulations were conducted to …

Stimulating long and persistent fractures from multiple perforations in horizontal wells plays
a vital role in enhancing the recovery of hydrocarbons from unconventional reservoirs …

This paper first time introduces refracturing overview to Kazakhstan's readers in term of
worldwide experience. Competitive commodity prices lead to a need for more cost-effective …

The effective propagation of multi-cluster fractures in horizontal wells is the key to the
development of unconventional reservoirs. Due to the influence of pressure drops at …
