A parametric study of hydraulic fracturing interference between fracture clusters and stages based on numerical modeling

Shale oil reservoirs are usually developed by horizontal wells completed with multi-stage hydraulic fractures. The fracture interference between clusters in a single stage and between consecutive stages has an impact on the stimulation quality in terms of fracture geometries and fracture widths. Thi...
