The existence of solid hydrate in porous media always greatly reduces the relative
permeability, which limits the development of hydrate reservoirs. Therefore, to recover the …

Simultaneous fracturing (SF) can improve operational efficiency and reduce operation costs,
which plays a vital role in increasing the production of oil and gas wells. It utilizes the …

Pre-existing natural fractures in a fractured reservoir will intersect with the hydraulic fractures
and propagate dynamically during the hydrofracturing process, which has a significant …

For better understanding the water influence on shale mechanical characteristics, chip,
column, powder and semi-circular bend four types of shale sample from Longmaxi outcrop …

Hydraulic fracturing is a necessary technique for shale gas exploitation. In order to have
efficient stimulation treatment, a complex fracture network has to be developed, whereas …

There are still some problems in the study of hydraulic fracture (HF) network evolution in
cemented naturally fractured reservoirs, such as microseismic mapping showing …

In this article, a parallel overlapping domain decomposition preconditioner is proposed to
solve the linear system of equations arising from the extended finite element discretization of …

The fracture propagation in hydraulic fracturing is described as a nonlinear problem
dynamic boundary. Due to the limitation of mesh refinement, it is difficult to obtain the real …

Tight sandstone has a tight structure and low natural production capacity, usually requiring
the use of fracturing technology to achieve industrial production. Supercritical CO2 fracturing …

The fluid-driven fracturing of the rock mass is a complex process. It has many applications,
from Hydraulic Fracturing in the oil and natural gas industry to Hydro-Geology and Dam …
