Summary “Fracture hit” was initially coined to refer to the phenomenon of an infill-well
fracture interacting with an adjacent well during the hydraulic-fracturing process. However …

Hydraulic fracturing (HF) is a well-known stimulation method used to increase production
from conventional and unconventional hydrocarbon reservoirs. In recent years, HF has been …

Abstract Supercritical carbon dioxide (ScCO 2)-based fracturing technology associating with
CO 2 enhanced shale gas recovery is a promising technology to reduce the water …

Horizontal well fracturing is most commonly used to improve well productivity from the lower
quality formations that could not have been economically developed using the conventional …

A fully coupled three-dimensional finite-element model for hydraulic fracturing in permeable
rocks is utilised to investigate the interaction between multiple simultaneous and sequential …

This paper establishes a 3D multi-well pad fracturing numerical model coupled with fracture
