A Case Study on the Optimal Design of the Horizontal Wellbore Trajectory for Hydraulic Fracturing in Nong’an Oil Shale
A horizontal well with hydraulic fractures is key to forming a fracture network in oil shale for the generated hydrocarbon flows. By considering the influence of anisotropic strength, a prediction model is proposed for fracture initiation by studying different fracture initiation modes (FIMs) in oil...
