Simulation of hydraulic fracture initiation and propagation for glutenite formations based on discrete element method
The existence of gravels in the glutenite formations leads to the complex geometries of hydraulic fracturing propagation and difficult construction in fracturing engineering. To study the hydraulic fracturing propagation law of glutenite formations, this paper establishes a fracture propagation mode...
