Experimental Study to Quantify Fracture Propagation in Hydraulic Fracturing Treatment.

ABSTRACT: Hydraulic fracturing plays an important role in the commercial development of unconventional oil and gas, which is directly related to the production of oil and gas wells. An accurate evaluation is critical for hydraulic fracturing, but it is urgent to propose a quantitative assessment of hydraulic fracturing fracture propagation for realizing hydraulic fracturing fracture propagation and multiposition permeability measurement under an in situ stress environment. Herein, a true triaxial stress loading and permeability testing device was designed and fabricated, and a permeability evaluation model was established under various states, which can realize the accurate measurement of multiple faces and the total permeability of tight specimens before and after hydraulic fracturing. It can direc
