Abstract
During the hydraulic fracturing, fractures are often kinked, blunted, or offset owing to the alternating, interbedded interfaces of diverse properties that render fracturing performance unsatisfactory. In this study, two cases (the artificial fracture perpendicular to and parallel to the bedding interfaces) were examined through three-point bending experiments on semi-circular bending (SCB) using shale specimens. The fracture process zone (FPZ)...
