Hot dry rock (HDR) is a novel green, low-carbon energy. Its development requires the creation of fracture channels in deep thermal reservoirs. Traditional methods such as hydraulic fracturing have limited effectiveness in reservoir stimulation, so a method of liquid nitrogen cold shock was proposed.

Article Synopsis
  • Cemented natural fractures (CNFs) in shale and tight sandstone reservoirs can significantly influence hydraulic fracturing and oil/gas production, but their interaction mechanisms are not fully understood.
  • A numerical model using the particle flow method was developed to simulate hydraulic fracture propagation and its interaction with CNFs, showing reliable results that align with previous experimental data.
  • The study found that factors like CNF cementation strength, inclination angle, and fluid viscosity can alter fracture propagation patterns, including new behaviors like bifurcation fractures and the development of complex fracture networks.

Naturally occurring gas clathrates are a significant methane resource-the primary component of natural gas, regarded as the cleanest hydrocarbon and a key feedstock for producing gray and blue hydrogen. Despite the global abundance of gas hydrate reserves, extraction via depressurization has yet to achieve commercially viable production rates. The primary limitation lies in the low permeability of hydrate-bearing sediments, where solid clathrates obstruct porous pathways, hindering dissociation and slowing gas recovery.

Unconventional gas reservoirs, characterized by their complex geologies and challenging extraction conditions, demand innovative approaches to enhance gas production and ensure economic viability. Well stimulation techniques, such as hydraulic fracturing and acidizing, have become indispensable tools in unlocking the potential of these tight formations. However, the effectiveness of these techniques can vary widely depending on the specific characteristics of the reservoir.

Horizontal well hydraulic fracturing technology has significantly enhanced the productivity of shale reservoirs. However, our understanding of the expansion patterns within the complex fracture network and fluid seepage mechanisms under field conditions remains inadequate. Here, this work develops a dynamic geomechanical (DG) model to simulate the complete sequence of operations in hydraulic fracturing.
