Numerical analysis of the hydraulic fracture propagation behavior encountering gravel in conglomerate reservoirs

Abstract Hydraulic fracturing, which forms complex fracture networks, is a common technique for efficiently exploiting low-permeability conglomerate reservoirs. However, the presence of gravel makes conglomerate highly heterogeneous, endowing the deformation, failure, and internal micro-scale fractu...
