Combined Effect of In Situ Stress Level and Bedding Anisotropy on Hydraulic Fracture Vertical Growth in Deep Marine Shale Revealed via CT Scans and Acoustic Emission

The economic exploitation of unconventional gas and oil in deep shale relies closely on effective hydraulic fracturing stimulations. However, the fracturing operations of deep shale reservoirs face challenges of insufficient fracture growth and a rapid decline in productivity due to the increasing i...
