Overview

Simulation reveals fracture propagation patterns in oil shale reservoirs, suggesting hydraulic fracturing can optimize matrix permeability.

Key Points

  • Hydraulic fracture propagation is influenced by the angle between natural and hydraulic fractures, with easier passage at larger angles.
  • Higher matrix elastic modulus enhances fracture penetration, resulting in narrow and long fracture morphologies.
  • Fracture propagation aligns with geostress differences, converging more as geostress difference increases.
  • Increasing fracturing fluid displacement can enhance fracture width and length, optimizing hydraulic modification effects.
