Numerical Investigation of Interaction Mechanism between Hydraulic Fracture and Natural Karst Cave Based on Seepage-Stress-Damage Coupled Model

Oil/gas is mainly distributed in caves for fractured-vuggy carbonate reservoirs, it is therefore of significance to effectively connect caves for successful carbonate reservoir development. However, the mechanism and controlling factors that influence the connection between fractures and caves still...
