Abstract: Due to the complexity of the interaction between hydraulic fractures (HFs) and natural fractures (NFs), several different interaction behaviours (arrest/cross/offset) may occur, according to hydraulic fracturing experiments. The existing analytical criteria cannot accurately describe this… read more here.
