Numerical and Experimental Investigations of the Interactions between Hydraulic and Natural Fractures in Shale Formations
Natural fractures (NFs) have been recognized as the dominant factors that increase hydraulic fracture complexity and reservoir productivity. However, the interactions between hydraulic and natural fractures are far from being fully understood. In this study, a two-dimensional numerical model based o...
