Study on Effect of Perforation Orientation on Hydraulic Fracturing of Shale by Jian Li, Dong Wang, Hongjian Wang, Fei Zhao, Qingqing Ma, Qi Qiao, Zhiyang Yao

“…In this paper, starting from the current research status of shale volumetric fracturing, the perforation orientation of volumetric fracturing is numerically simulated by using the finite element software. The following conclusions are drawn: ① when the ground stress conditions are equal, with the increase of perforation angle, the maximum principal stress at the front of perforation decreases gradually; that is, when the perforation is along the horizontal minimum principal stress, the maximum principal stress at the front of perforation is the largest, which is most conducive to fracturing of shale reservoirs. ② When the perforation is along the direction of the horizontal minimum principal stress and the horizontal stress difference is zero, the smaller the horizontal stress, the greater the maximum principal stress at the front of the perforation. …”
