Scale-Dependent Transition from Single Fracture Interaction to Fracture Network Evolution during Supercritical CO2 Fracturing of Naturally Fractured Shale

Abstract Supercritical CO2 (ScCO2) fracturing is a promising method for shale gas stimulation because it can reduce water consumption and provide a potential route for CO2 utilization. In naturally fractured shale, stimulation performance is controlled not only by the extension o...
