Numerical Simulation of the Propagation Characteristics of a Pulse Fracture Network in Shale Reservoirs under Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical-Damage Coupling

Abstract Deep shale reservoirs feature poor physical properties and well-developed dense bedding planes. Conventional hydraulic fracturing produces limited stimulated volume and inadequate activation of natural fractures, failing to effectively boost reservoir permeability, while...
