2D Numerical Simulation of Hydraulic Fracturing in Hydrate-Bearing Sediments Based on the Cohesive Element

Xiaolong Ma et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of reservoir properties and fracturing execution parameters on hydraulic fracturing of natural gas hydrate (NGH) reservoirs using a 2D numerical model. The results indicate that fracture initiation pressure is influenced by gas hydrate saturation, reservoir intrinsic permeability, and in situ horizontal stress, while a higher injection rate of fracturing fluid leads to wider and longer fractures. These findings contribute to a better understanding of hydraulic fracturing in NGH reservoirs and the development of potential reservoir stimulation strategies.

Numerical simulation of horizontal well hydraulic fracturing technology for gas production from hydrate reservoir

Xiaolong Ma et al.

Summary: The research found that a 5-meter horizontal fracture length in the hydrate reservoir significantly increased gas production when the horizontal well was located in different areas within the gas hydrate-bearing layer. Increasing the fracture length from 5 to 20 meters only slightly increased gas production. Additionally, the promotion effects of horizontal fractures on gas production varied based on the location of the horizontal well within the reservoir.
