An Analytical Model for Fracture Initiation of Radial Drilling-Fracturing in Shale Formations

AbstractRadial drilling-fracturing, the combination of radial drilling and hydraulic fracturing, can guide fractures toward the target area and effectively enhance the recovery of the low permeable reservoir. In this paper, based on the stress superposition principle, we establish an...
