Insight into the Effect of Natural Fracture Density in a Shale Reservoir on Hydraulic Fracture Propagation: Physical Model Testing

Here, laboratory tests were conducted to examine the effects of natural fracture density (NFD) on the propagation of hydraulic fracture (HF), HF and natural fracture (NF) interaction, and the formation of the stimulated reservoir volume (SRV). Laboratory methods were proposed to prepare samples with...
