Abstract:In recent years, hydraulic fracturing techniques have been widely used in extracting unconventional reservoir resources. During multicluster fracturing process, the stress shadowing effect can lead to a nonuniform distribution of fracturing fluid. In this paper, a two-dimensional multiple fracture propagation model is developed based on phase field method considering the distribution of fracturing fluid within each fracture during fracturing process. The distribution of fracturing fluid injected into each frac… Show more
