Effect of rock brittleness on propagation of hydraulic fractures in shale reservoirs with bedding‐planes

Abstract Hydraulic fracturing forms complex hydraulic fracture networks (HFNs) in shale reservoirs and significantly improves the permeability of shale reservoirs. Although rock brittleness is a major factor in determining whether a shale reservoir can be fractured, the relationship between HFNs and...
