Factors Controlling the Hydraulic Fracture Trajectory in Unconventional Reservoirs by Peng Zheng, Erhu Liu, Desheng Zhou, Xinwei Du, Zhongjun Ma

“…When the difference between the injection pressure and the maximum principal stress is 5 times the ground stress difference, the influence of in situ stress on hydraulic fracture deflection can be ignored. Hydraulic fracture deflection angle was relatively larger when considering the viscosity of the fracturing fluid. …”

Numerical Simulation of the Influence of Natural Fractures on Hydraulic Fracture Propagation by Song Yaobin, Lu Weiyong, He Changchun, Bai Erhu

“…However, under a high stress difference and high approach angle, the hydraulic fracture spreads directly through the natural fracture along the original direction. (3) When natural fractures with a low tensile strength encounter hydraulic fractures, the hydraulic fractures likely deviate and expand along the natural fractures. …”

Numerical Investigation of Hydraulic Fracture Propagation Morphology in the Conglomerate Reservoir by Zehao Xu, Xiangjun Liu, Lixi Liang

“…A stress concentration occurs at the gravel-matrix interfaces owing to the embedded gravel and affects the local mechanical response significantly, making it difficult to control and predict hydraulic fracture (HF) propagation. The mechanism of HF propagation in conglomerate reservoirs remains unclear; thus, it is difficult to effectively design and treat hydraulic fracturing. …”
