Advanced Fracturing Technology for Oil and Gas Reservoir Stimulation

Fossil energy-coal-bed methane, shale oil, shale gas, and natural gas hydrates-significantly contribute to the world's energy production. This Reprint aims to disseminate the latest research on how advanced fracturing technologies unlock these resources. It covers the characterization of pre-fracture reservoirs, fracture propagation mechanics across diverse geologies, hydraulic-natural fracture interaction, proppant transport and placement optimization, and the design of fracturing fluid systems and injection parameters. The studies herein provide a concise, state-of-the-art resource for researchers, engineers, and industry professionals seeking to maximize recovery from complex reservoirs, serving as a reference for research in related or relevant areas.
