Propagation pattern of cracks around a shale borehole via the cohesive element method

Abstract Shale gas is a cutting edge energy source for development, and reserves are abundant. However, shale microcracks develop and tend to form macroscopic fractures during drilling, which can cause severe wellbore instability. Therefore, in combination with rock mechanics theory and fracture mec...
