Numerical Simulation of the Fracture Propagation Mechanism during Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Fracturing in Shale Reservoirs

AbstractTo investigate the fracture propagation mechanism during supercritical CO2 fracturing in shale reservoirs, a numerical model was proposed based on the displacement discontinuity method. The Peng–Robinson equation was introduced to determine the variations in CO2 properties du...
