Influence of the bedding plane on the propagation of multiple hydraulic fractures

The presence of bedding planes (BPs) in unconventional shale reservoirs is common and widespread. BPs always affect fracture propagation. The objective of this study was to investigate the impacts of BPs on multiple hydraulic fracturing. The BPs were assumed to be perpendicular to the direction of t...
