“…This section provides a short overview of these aspects of fluid-driven fractures, with a focus on the natural fractures. Much more detailed field descriptions of natural hydrofractures are provided by Segall (1984), Pollard & Aydin (1988), Hillis (2003), Cobbold & Rodrigues (2007), Philipp (2008Philipp ( , 2012, Gudmundsson (2011, Geshi et al (2010Geshi et al ( , 2012, Bons et al (2012), Galindo & Gudmundsson (2012), Kusumoto et al (2013), Kusumoto & Gudmundsson (2014), Fall et al (2015), Tibaldi (2015), Gale et al (2019) and Laubach et al (2019).…”

“…Much research has also been conducted on human-made hydraulic fractures for over 70 years in the hydrocarbon industry. These are also fluid-driven fractures and the study of theseincluding seismic monitoring (Shapiro, 2018), cores taken through the seismic volumes to focus on the fracture types generated (Gale et al 2019(Gale et al , 2021, and their propagation paths and geometries (Howard & Fast, 1970;Warpinski & Teufel, 1987;Warpinski et al 1993;Fast et al 1994;Mahrer, 1999;Fisher & Warpinski, 2011;Davis et al 2012;Flewelling et al 2013;Fall et al 2015)provides additional information on such fractures. Mineral-filled extension (opening-mode) fractures, known as mineral veins (Philipp, 2008(Philipp, , 2012Bons et al 2012), also provide information on the propagation of fluid-driven fractures, although on a much smaller scale than for dykes (Hillis, 2003;Cobbold & Rodrigues, 2007).…”

“…Drilling core wells at mine sites has become essential to visualize proppant distribution under real fracturing conditions. A set of proppant cleaning, screening, and identification methods has been developed abroad recently, using high-resolution scanning imaging technology and machine learning methods to improve proppant identification efficiency and using SEM-EDS analysis technology to assist in validating proppant identification methods (Liu et al, 2015;Maity et al, 2018;Gale et al, 2019;Craig et al, 2021;Maity and Ciezobka, 2021;Debotyam and Jordan, 2021). Relevant studies based on core well analysis of proppant distribution in China are yet to be reported.…”

“…With the advent of microseismic monitoring, mineback studies, and early core-through experiments, by the 1990s the hydraulic fracture process was perceived to create complex fracture patterns including near-wellbore and far-field fracture strands (e.g., Mahrer, 1999). The origin and pattern of interacting parallel and adjacent fractures and/or non-interacting highly separated fractures remains contentious and is the subject of extensive recent core-through experiments (e.g., Raterman et al, 2017;Gale et al, 2019;Wang et al, 2019;Gale et al, 2021). Complex induced hydraulic fracture networks-characterized by large fracture surface area-are essential to effective production from finegrained (unconventional) hydrocarbon reservoirs.…”
