Large Scale Physical Modeling of Shale Fracture Propagation Under Different Controllable Shock Wave and Perforation Operation Schemes

To address the relatively high near-wellbore fracture-initiation resistance and the tendency of hydraulic fractures to propagate along a dominant path under conventional perforation-based hydraulic fracturing, three large-scale hydraulic-fracturing experiments were conducted using a 10,000-ton ultra-large true-triaxial...
