Numerical Analysis of Hydraulic Fracture Propagation Behaviors in Ultra-Deep Lattice-like Fractured Reservoirs
Ultra-deep lattice-like fractured carbonate reservoirs, formed by multi-period tectonic movements, feature strong heterogeneity, multi-scale fracture nesting, and anisotropic in situ stress. However, hydraulic fracture (HF) propagation behaviors within these complex formations remain poorly understood. In this study, u...
