...H. Yoshida; S. Jafri; M. Okura; S. Takahashi; W. Li Summary Sealing elements (SEs) of fracture plugs have crucial roles to isolate target zones of a well in hydraulic fracturing. If the zonal isolation by the SE is not adequate, it can result in erosion of the casing. To the best of the authors...

... occurred in 65.8% of shale gas exploitation. Scholars have explored the possible causes of casing deformation or damage during hydraulic fracturing. The main factors are (1) the cement voids pressure decline effect ( Xi et al. 2018 ; Yan et al. 2017 ), (2) the lithologic interface ( Li et al. 2020 ; Xi...

... difference conditions related to the automatic opening of fractures. By analyzing the temperature variation in the fracture wall, the mechanism for the opening of branch fractures at the fracture wall was investigated based on rock mechanics, the theory of fracture extension in hydraulic fracturing...

... fractures in tight/unconventional plays, to improve the recovery. To maximize matrix sweep, the fractures are aligned in a face-to-face assembly. Such an arrangement can be achieved using a vertical or longitudinal hydraulic fracture on horizontal wells, but these, generally, do not provide as effective...
