Analytical modelling of wettability alteration-induced micro-fractures during hydraulic fracturing in tight oil reservoirs

Hydraulic fracturing technique is of vital importance to increase fuel energy, in particular to unlock the unconventional resources (e.g., tight oil, shale oil and shale gas reservoirs). However, low recovery of hydraulic fracturing fluid has been in the centre of attention from both technical and environmental perspectives in the last decade. To gain a deeper understanding of controlling factor(s) over low recovery of hydraulic fracturing...
