The Influence of Tensile Strength Difference with Variable Gravel Sizes on the Hydraulic Fracture Propagation in the Conglomerate Reservoir by Junnian Chen

“…The results showed the following: (i) the tensile strength of conglomerate rock decreased with the increase of the gravel size, and the average tensile strengths of specimens with gravel diameters of 2.0–6.0 mm and 6.0–20.0 mm were 65.5% and 43.6% of that with 0.1–2.0 mm diameter, respectively; (ii) hydraulic fractures easily deflected at the interface of fine-grained conglomerate and medium-grained conglomerate; (iii) hydraulic fractures were prone to propagate to the layers with larger gravel sizes, and the smaller the gravel size, the lower the penetration probability. …”
