Although hydraulic fracturing is a mature technology that has been used commercially since
the late 1940s, the development of unconventional hydrocarbon fields with the combination …

Abstract Recently, scCO 2 (supercritical-carbon-dioxide) used as the green medium in
industrial production has attracted much attention of researchers because of its unique …

Creating an open, connected fracture by hydraulic stimulation is vital to heat mining in an
enhanced geothermal system (EGS). The existence of natural fractures, which seriously …

A hybrid discrete‐continuum numerical scheme is developed to study the behavior of a
hydraulic fracture crossing natural fractures. The fully coupled hybrid scheme utilizes a …

Despite the wide application of hydraulic fracturing in enhanced geothermal system (EGS)
development and unconventional hydrocarbon production, our understanding of the many …

We implement proppant transport in a three-dimensional hydraulic fracturing simulator,
including proppant settlement due to gravity, tip screen-out, and fracture closure …

Increasing the production and utilization of shale gas is of great significance for building a
clean and low-carbon energy system. Sharp decline of gas production has been widely …

In this paper, we present the fracture-compliance method, a technique for estimating the
closure pressure from diagnostic fracture-injection tests (DFITs). The method is based on the …

In this study, we present an efficient numerical solution for studying hydraulic fracturing
under coupled thermal–hydraulic conditions in an elastic–plastic porous medium. The …

Geothermal energy, featured as a renewable low‐carbon energy resource, exhibits great
potential in mitigating global warming. However, efficient mining of geothermal energy from …
