Complex fracture shapes in hydraulic fracturing with orientated perforations
Based on rock mechanical tests and practical data interpretation, a three-dimensional finite element model is established to study factors influencing fracture shape in orientated hydraulic fracturing. The stress interference around neighboring perforations causes fracture initiation, and the main f...
