General criterion for intersection between hydraulic induced fractures and pre-existing natural fractures
Pre-existing natural fractures and other structurally weak planes are usually well-developed in unconventional reservoirs. When such fractures intersect with hydraulic induced fractures, they will redirect and propagate as an important mechanical principle of volume fracturing by the formation of co...
