Experimental and Numerical Investigation on the Interaction between Hydraulic Fractures and Vugs in Fracture-Cavity Carbonate Reservoirs

In karstic-fractured carbonate reservoirs, most of the oil resources are hosted in vugs. Connecting as many vugs as possible by hydraulic fracturing is the key to achieving effective development. However, the interaction mechanism between vugs and hydraulic fractures is complicated and has not been...
