Multi-cluster fracturing in horizontal wells is an important stimulation technology for
unconventional tight reservoirs. The interference among multiple simultaneously growing …

As a potential reservoir stimulation fracturing fluid, carbon dioxide (CO2) offers significant
advantages in enhancing the recovery of hydrocarbon resources and reducing reservoir …

Deep shale reservoirs exhibit strong plasticity, and the simulation results from previous
fracturing simulations based on elastic models may not adequately account for the effects of …

In this paper the problem of a plane strain hydraulic fracture in elasto-plastic material is
analyzed. The analysis is based on Finite Element Method computations of crack …

In this paper the problem of hydraulic fracture in elasto-plastic pressure sensitive material is
analyzed. The superdislocation model is used to approximate the plastic deformations in the …

In this paper, a problem of numerical simulation of hydraulic fractures is considered. An
efficient algorithm of solution is proposed for the plain strain model of hydraulic fracturing …

The radial (penny-shaped) model of hydraulic fracture is considered. The tangential traction
on the fracture walls is incorporated, including an updated evaluation of the energy release …

Shale gas has become the major source of natural gas. However, shale is rich in clay and
easily collapsed by water invasion. This not only causes collapse of the reservoir but also …
