Numerical simulation study of multi-cluster hydraulic fracture propagation in deep coal seams using the 3D lattice method
Deep coalbed methane (CBM) has become an increasingly critical target for exploration and development in recent years, with large-scale hydraulic fracturing being a key technology for achieving efficient extraction. However, the widespread development of cleat/fracture systems within coal seams significantly increase...
