An accurate description of fluid flow is critical for the prediction of the productivity of shale
gas reservoirs. In this paper, we present the current advances and a systematic summary on …

Mineral dissolution significantly alters pore structure and mechanical properties during acid
fracturing, profoundly influencing fracture propagation behaviors. However, a …

Hydraulic fracturing is known to be the most effective stimulation to enhance fractured
reservoir permeability by creating hydraulic fractures (HFs). The efficiency of a HF fluid …

Preexisting discontinuities, such as joints and beddings, are widely distributed in
unconventional reservoirs. During fluid injection, hydraulic fractures strongly interact with …

The complex structure of carbonate reservoirs significantly impacts the development of oil
reservoirs. Most published studies focus on void systems in sandstones and shales, while …

Hydraulic fracturing is known to be one of the most effective stimulation techniques to
enhance reservoir permeability. A hydraulic fracture (HF) fluid injection's efficiency largely …

Most reservoir matrices exhibit inherent orthotropy that may have a great impact on the
propagation behavior of a hydraulic fracture. Modeling of fracture propagation in orthotropic …

Hydraulic fracturing (HF) is one of the most effective stimulation techniques to enhance
reservoir permeability. The efficiency of an HF fluid injection depends on the pre-existing …

The mechanical behavior of shale exhibits pronounced time-dependent nonlinearity.
Existing phase-field models are inadequate for evaluating the fluid-driven fracture …

Hydraulic fracturing, combined with horizontal wells, is one of the key technologies that
enables production from shale gas reservoirs. However, data from several fields in the …
