Numerical Investigation of Influence of Fluid Rate, Fluid Viscosity, Perforation Angle and NF on HF Re-Orientation in Heterogeneous Rocks Using UDEC T-W Method

Numerical simulation is very useful for understanding the hydraulic fracture (HF) re-orientation mechanism from artificial weaknesses. In this paper, the UDEC T-W (Trigon–Weibull distribution) modeling method is adopted to simulate the hydraulic fracturing process in heterogeneous rocks. First, the...
