As an emerging waterless fracturing technology, supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO 2)
fracturing can reduce reservoir damage and dependence on water resources, and can also …

With the rapid development of horizontal well drilling and hydraulic fracturing techniques,
shale gas has become a major source of energy in recent years. However, accurately …

Understanding hydraulic fracture propagation behaviours is vital for optimizing fracturing
design in oil and gas production. It has been observed that the stress and pore pressure …

Abstract Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) shows vast potential for exploiting deep
geothermal energy sources, although its techno-economic feasibility remains uncertain. The …

Understanding the fracture behavior and fracture-morphology evolution of granite after
coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) environment is important for many geotechnical …

The fracture distribution and internal control factors after the fracturing of unconventional oil
and gas reservoirs determine the reservoir reforming effect to a large extent. Based on the …

Pore pressure is a crucial factor affecting reservoir stimulation, especially in unconventional
reservoirs, because it can control crack initiation and propagation. However, studies on the …

Modified zipper fracturing in horizontal wells is an effective tool for promoting the energy
productivity of hot dry rock based enhanced geothermal system. However, the following two …

Hydraulic fracturing is widely used in the exploitation of shale gas reservoirs to create high
conductivity fractures and complex fracture networks. However, the low flowback efficiency …

The challenges behind this research were encountered while drilling into the Ilam,
Mauddud, Gurpi, and Mishrif Formations, where severe drilling instability-related issues …
