A new criterion for repeated intersections of hydraulic fracture and structural planes

Abstract The interaction of hydraulic fractures (HFs) and structural planes (SPs) fundamentally governs fracture geometry and stimulation effectiveness in naturally fractured reservoirs. Existing models typically treat HF-SP interaction as a single, isolated event and therefore miss the cumulative,...
