Along with horizontal drilling techniques, multi-stage hydraulic fracturing has improved shale
gas production significantly in past decades. In order to understand the mechanism of …

Different from the conventional oil reservoirs, the primary storage space of shale is
micro/nano pore networks. Moreover, the multiscale and multi-minerals characteristics of …

Abstract Development of numerical methods for hydraulic fracture simulation has
accelerated in the past two decades. Recent advances in hydraulic fracture modeling and …

This work presents phase field fracture modeling in heterogeneous porous media. We
develop robust and efficient numerical algorithms for pressure-driven and fluid-driven …

This paper presents a general overview of hydraulic fracturing models developed and
applied to simulation of complex fractures in naturally fractured shale reservoirs. It discusses …

With the increasingly wide use of hydraulic fracturing in the petroleum industry, it is essential
to accurately predict the behavior of fracture propagations based on the understanding of …

The main area of the Jiaoshiba anticline of the Fuling shale gas field was taken as the
research object, laboratory rock mechanical experiments and direct shear experiments were …

Hydraulic fracturing is the method of choice to enhance reservoir permeability and well
efficiency for extraction of shale gas. Multi‐stranded non‐planar hydraulic fractures are often …

As a commonly used and effective technology for increasing the permeability of coal–rock
reservoirs, hydraulic fracturing has been widely used in engineering sites to realize the …

This paper revisits the problem of computational modelling of a fluid-driven fracture
propagating in a permeable porous medium using zero-thickness flow cohesive interface …
