“…A combination of horizontal drilling and multi-stage hydraulic fracturing is an important means for shale gas production [9,16,59,60]. While published work shows that shale hydration would trigger water uptake and wellbore instability due to complex physicochemical processes [54,55], the existing accounts fail to fully acknowledge the significance of shale anisotropy on water uptake and wellbore instability, typically under in situ reservoir temperature and an elevated pressure.…”

“…For example, Nicot and Scanlon [11,12] conclude that up to 80% of hydraulic fluids remain underground after hydraulic fracturing in the Eagle Ford shale reservoir. Published works show that this large amount of fluid loss is associated with fluid-rock interaction such as hydration of clay minerals [13,14], capillary pressure [13,15,16] and osmotic flow [17,18]. Binazadeh et al [14] quantified the effect of solution ionic strength on clay hydration.…”

“…Extensive research has been conducted in the area of hydraulic fracturing mechanisms [19][20][21][22][23]. Deng et al [24] studied the entire hydraulic failure process, including hydraulic fracture initiation and crack propagation through true triaxial testing and a finite element numerical simulation.…”

“…However, this long-recognized characteristic of rock failure has only recently been considered in solving the problem of hydraulic fracturing (HF) initiation, which has implications for the effectiveness of HF in challenging formations where breakdown cannot be achieved with typical limits on pumping equipment. It is also argued by Bunger and Lu (2015) as one of the fundamental mechanisms for simultaneous generation of multiple hydraulic fractures, with the potential to significantly impact the propagation of the fractures, especially in early stage of the HF growth (Lu et al, 2017;Lu, Gordeliy, et al, 2018).…”
