Study on Fracture Interference and Formation Mechanisms of Complex Fracture Networks in Continental Shale Oil Horizontal Well Staged Fracturing

Study on Fracture Interference and Formation Mechanisms of Complex Fracture Networks in Continental Shale Oil Horizontal Well Staged Fracturing

Continental shale oil fracturing dynamics are governed by interactions between hydraulic fractures and pre-existing natural fractures. This study establishes a fluid–solid coupling model using globally embedded cohesive elements to simulate fracture propagation in naturally fractured reservoirs. Key...
