Novel Technique to Enhance Hydraulic Fracture Permeability by Controllable Biomimetic Mineralization: Transitioning from Liquid Injection to Solid Propping

Abstract Unconventional oil and gas have been playing an increasingly important role in the global energy market. The primary development technique for shale and tight reservoirs is hydraulic fracturing, which aims to create high-permeability channels propped by quartz sand or ce...
