Multistage hydraulic fracturing of a horizontal well for hard roof related coal burst control: Insights from numerical modelling to field application

Multistage hydraulic fracturing of horizontal wells (MFHW) is a promising technology for controlling coal burst caused by thick and hard roofs in China. However, challenges remain regarding the MFHW control mechanism of coal burst and assessment of the associated fracturing effects. In this study, t...
