Numerical Study on Hydraulic Fracture Propagation in a Layered Continental Shale Reservoir

The distribution of beddings varies greatly in shale reservoirs. The influence of beddings on hydraulic fracture propagation has often been studied using simplified geological models, i.e., uniformly distributed bedding models. However, the propagation processes of hydraulic fractures in shale reser...
