...Results and Discussion A careful screening of formation petrophysical/geomechnaical properties and treatment parameters helps identifying well candidates and treatment strategies to avoid both insufficient fracture complexity and excessive fracture complexity. It is possible to implicitly...

... boundary element method and rock failure criterion, a 2D geomechanical model was built to study the fracture complexity of simultaneous fracturing. In the paper, the differences of fracture propagating paths of fractures from simul-frac and two fractures from a stand- along horizontal well are compared...
