Rules of fracture propagation of hydraulic fracturing in radial well based on XFEM

Abstract The radial well fracturing has been applied and achieved effective output. However, the fracture morphology and propagation law of it are still remain unclear, which limits the development and application of it. A 3D numerical model is established by ABAQUS to solve the current problems. Th...
