DOI: 10.1016/j.petrol.2021.108598
Abstract: Abstract CO2-based fracturing (CBF) has been regarded as the most promising alternative to water-based fracturing (WBF) in water-sensitive unconventional gas reservoirs, and the fracture initiation and propagation at different in-site stresses created by CBF is… read more here.
