Quantification of the Fracture Complexity of Shale Cores After Triaxial Fracturing

Diagnosing fractures under compression is of great importance in optimizing hydraulic fracturing stimulation strategies for unconventional reservoirs. However, a lot of information, such as fracture morphology and fracture complexity, is far from being fully excavated in the laboratory limited by th...
