Interwell interference is a ubiquitous concern in shale reservoir development that results in
declines in productivity. It mainly appears when a high number of closely spaced …

Naturally fractured rock mass is highly inhomogeneous and contains geological
discontinuities at various length scales. Hydraulic fracture stimulation in such a medium …

Diversion of treatment fluid is the major attribute of successful refracturing treatment. This
paper provides a comprehensive review of near wellbore and far-field diversion application …

Field data have shown the decline of fracture conductivity during reservoir depletion. In
addition, refracturing and infill drilling have recently gained much attention as efficient …

Because of interwell interference, the completion and production of infill wells in
unconventional reservoirs often change established production profiles for parent wells and …

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 …

Horizontal well with subdivision cutting fracturing technology is a new technical way to
improve the efficient development of shale reservoirs. Subdivision cutting fracturing has the …

The competitive initiation from multiple perforation tunnels and the non-planar propagation
near the wellbore for different perforation technologies are not fully understood. Laboratory …

The combination of horizontal well drilling and staged fracturing technology is one of the
most effective ways to increase unconventional oil and gas production. The orientation of the …

Tightly spaced horizontal wells are widely used in the development of unconventional
resources. The effectiveness of this strategy is largely affected by interwell fracturing …
