Fracture Initiation and Propagation of Multiple Hydraulic Fractures Across Bedding Planes in Shale Oil Horizontal Well
The Jimsar shale reservoir is characterized by low porosity and low permeability. Multistage fracturing of horizontal wells is an effective development method. However, interference between multiple fractures and the presence of well-developed bedding planes limit the effective extension of fractures. To elucidate the...
