Experimental study of the effect of natural fracture curvature on hydraulic fracture propagation behavior

Abstract The interaction mechanism between hydraulic fractures (HF) and natural fractures (NF) constitutes a critical research focus in hydraulic fracturing optimization. This study systematically investigates the influence of NF curvature on HF propagation behavior through large-scale true triaxial...
