Abstract:Hydraulic fracturing technology has been widely used
in the tight
reservoir reconstruction. Unfortunately, with the deepening of mining
depth and the increase of geo-stress, the propagation mechanism of
medium-pressure fractures in the reservoir is significantly different
from that of conventional shallow reservoirs. Based on the combined
finite discrete element method, this paper conducts numerical simulation
research on deep tight sandstone reservoirs in the west. The discrete
fracture network modeling metho… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
