Factors affecting casing equivalent stress in multi-cluster fracturing of horizontal shale gas wells: finite element study on Weirong Block, southern Sichuan Basin, China

Abstract Multi-cluster fracturing technology was often used in horizontal well reservoir reconstruction to achieve production increase, which also affected casing equivalent stress distribution. This paper focuses on multi-cluster fracturing and establishes a fracturing model in line with the realit...
