Three-Dimensional Numerical Simulation of Fracture Extension in Conglomerate Fracturing Considering Pore-Fracture Seepage and Study of Influencing Factors by Zehao Xu, Haiyang Zhao, Xiangjun Liu, Lixi Liang, Pandeng Luo

“…High-strength gravel promotes the development of branching fractures in the initiation phase, which acts as a barrier to expanding fractures, and the most complex fracture development occurs when the gravel strength is approximately 4–5 times that of the matrix. In the weakly cemented state, fracture development around the gravel contributes to the shear failure of the conglomerate, but the strength of the cemented interface has no obvious control on the overall fracture morphology. …”
