Fracture Propagation Characteristics and Influencing Factors in Cross-Layer Fracturing of Interlayered Shale Reservoirs
Hydraulic-fracture transmission across lithologic interfaces governs fracture-height growth and reservoir connectivity in shale–sandstone interbedded reservoirs, yet the coupled effects of mechanical contrast, interface properties, layer geometry, and operational parameters remain insufficiently quantified. A two-dimen...
