Propagation area evaluation of hydraulic fracture networks in shale gas reservoirs

Based on hydraulic fracturing experiments in laboratory, the hydraulic fracture propagation in shale is analyzed, a method for evaluating the fracture propagation extent is proposed, and the effects of geological factors and engineering factors on fracture propagation are studied. “Stimulated Rock A...
