Supercritical CO<sub>2</sub> Injection-Induced Fracturing in Longmaxi Shales: A Laboratory Study

Supercritical CO<sub>2</sub> Injection-Induced Fracturing in Longmaxi Shales: A Laboratory Study

Although supercritical CO<sub>2</sub> (SC-CO<sub>2</sub>) fracturing has shown promise in oil and gas development with demonstrated potential, its application in shale gas extraction remains in its infancy globally. In this study, fracturing experiments were conducted with wa...
