...- and engineering-scale fractures Hydro-mechanical coupling Many oil and gas reservoirs worldwide exist in low-permeability fractured reservoirs, and hydrofracturing technology has been extensively used to stimulate low-permeability unconventional oil and gas reservoirs to increase productivity (Bažant...

... strategy to ensure the accuracy of solutions, reliability of fracture propagation path and computational efficiency. Engineering-scale numerical models were proposed that account for the hydro-mechanical coupling and fracturing fluid leak-off, to simulate multistage propagation of 3D multiple hydraulic...
