Fracture Initiation Mechanisms of Multibranched Radial-Drilling Fracturing

AbstractCompared with conventional hydraulic fracturing, radial-drilling fracturing presents remarkable advantages and can effectively develop low-permeability reservoirs. The radial borehole can reduce formation fracture pressure and guide the fracture initiation and propagation. Du...
