Experimental study on shale fracturing effect and fracture mechanism under different fracturing fluid viscosity: A case study of Guanyinqiao Member shale in Xishui, Guizhou, China

In this study, a series of laboratory fracturing experiments were conducted on samples mined from reservoirs of the Guanyinqiao Member shale in Xishui County, Guizhou Province, using a traditional triaxial fracturing simulation system. Based on the experimental results, the breakdown pressure and ef...
