Numerical Simulations of Fracture Propagation in Jointed Shale Reservoirs under CO2 Fracturing by Qi Zhang, Dan Ma, Jiangfeng Liu, Jiehao Wang, Xibing Li, Zilong Zhou

“…The preexisting joints can aggravate the damage of the numerical specimens; the seepage areas of the layered jointed sample, vertical jointed sample, and orthogonal jointed sample are increased by 32.5%, 29.16%, and 35.05%, respectively, at time t=39 s compared with the intact sample. The preexisting horizontal joints or vertical joints promote the propagation of hydraulic fractures in the horizontal direction or vertical direction but restrain the expansion of hydraulic fractures in the vertical or horizontal direction.…”
