Debonding and coalescence in the interaction between hydraulic and natural fracture: Accounting for the effect of leak-off

The interaction between hydraulic and natural fracture – specifically, the parameters of fracturing-fluid leak-off and tension regimes – is one of the most significant considerations in hydraulic fracturing operations in fractured reservoirs. Our goal in this study was to investigate the principal stress effect of the anisotropy ratio and the mutual influences of natural fractures in the hydraulic fracturing path, considering different rates of...
