Hydraulic fracturing is a key technology for the efficient development of shale oil and gas resources, while mineral composition and its spatial organization can substantially affect crack initiation, propagation, and coalescence within shale. This study proposes an improved finite-discrete element method (FDEM) mode...

The diverse internal structures of Gulong shale reservoirs significantly impact hydraulic fracturing, yet traditional evaluation methods often fail to characterize the continuous failure features of different shale types. Therefore, this study aims to systematically analyze the mechanical heterogeneity and fracabilit...

Low-permeability reservoirs are critical frontiers for oil and gas displacement, where CO2 water-alternating-gas (CO2-WAG) injection plays a pivotal role in both enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS). However, development performance is highly sensitive to injection parameter...
