Numerical simulation of hydraulic fracture propagation in laminated shale reservoirs
TL;DR: In this article, a 3D fracture propagation model of the target reservoir taking mechanical anisotropy, weak bedding plane and vertical stress difference into account was established by the discrete element method to analyze distribution patterns of hydraulic fractures under different bedding densities, mechanical properties, and fracturing engineering parameters (including perforation clusters, injection rates and fracturing fluid viscosity).

Calculation method of proppant embedment depth in hydraulic fracturing
TL;DR: In this article, a new calculation method of embedment depth considering elastic-plastic deformation was proposed based on the mechanism of proppant embedment into rocks by combining pro-part embedment constitutive equations and contact stresses on the rock-proppant system.

Optimization of In-Stage Diversion To Promote Uniform Planar Multifracture Propagation: A Numerical Study
TL;DR: In this article, a fully coupled planar 2D multifracture model for simulating the in-stage diversion process is presented, where the authors evaluate flux redistribution after diversion and optimize the dosage of diverters and diversion timing under different in-stage in-situ stress difference.

Effect of thermal shock on laboratory hydraulic fracturing in Laizhou granite: An experimental study
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of thermal shock on hydraulic fracturing in hot dry rock (HDR) was investigated, where several natural granite specimens were slowly heated to various target temperatures and then rapidly cooled down by flowing water.

A semi-analytical model for predicting fluid partitioning among multiple hydraulic fractures from a horizontal well
TL;DR: In this paper, a semi-analytical model was proposed to simulate fluid rate distribution in multiple fractures, and the model can efficiently optimize perforation parameters for multi-cluster fracturing of a horizontal well.
