Abstract:The multifracture competitive growth from a horizontal well is an essential issue in multi-cluster fracturing design. In recent years, extremely limited entry (ELE) fracturing has been implemented to promote uniform multifracture growth. However, the mechanism of multifracture growth and ELE design remain unclear. Based on the planar three-dimensional multifracture propagation model, a multi-cluster horizontal well fracturing model that considers ELE design has been developed. The model considers flow in the w… Show more
“…Numerous methods have been provided to solve fluid-driven fracture propagation. Wang et al [5] outlined a numerical multi-fracture simulation during extremely limited entry perforation using a planar 3D hydraulic fracture model. An efficient time-stepping algorithm was used in the study to accelerate computation.…”
