The Influence of the Distribution Characteristics of Complex Natural Fracture on the Hydraulic Fracture Propagation Morphology

Natural fractures are common in unconventional reservoirs (e.g., tight oil and gas, shale oil and gas), for which hydraulic fracturing is the main exploitation method. Natural fractures influence the propagation and final transformation effect of hydraulic fractures, which is an important factor for...
