The Impact of Oriented Perforations on Fracture Propagation and Complexity in Hydraulic Fracturing

To better understand the interaction between hydraulic fracture and oriented perforation, a fully coupled finite element method (FEM)-based hydraulic-geomechanical fracture model accommodating gas sorption and damage has been developed. Damage conforms to a maximum stress criterion in tension and to...
