EXTENDED FINITE ELEMENT MODELLING (XFEM) OF INTERACTION BETWEEN HYDRAULIC FRACTURE AND NATURAL FRACTURE FOR UNCONVENTIONAL RESERVOIR

The economical production of shale gas require well stimulation technique such as hydraulic fracturing. The hydraulic fracturing involves the injection of pressurized and high flow rate fluid into the formation to create the complex fracture network that consists of hydraulic fracture and natural fr...
