An optimization model for conductivity of hydraulic fracture networks in the Longmaxi shale, Sichuan basin, Southwest China
Shale gas is an important unconventional resource. The economic recovery of shale gas is only possible when a fracture network with sufficient conductivity is created by hydraulic fracturing, that, if effectively propped, connects fracturing fractures and natural fractures. Focusing on the Longmaxi...
