During development, it is required to connect between hydraulic fracture and as many vugs as possible which are the main geological component to store oil...

...Mianmo Meng; Hongkui Ge; Yinghao Shen; Wenming Ji Hydraulic fracturing becomes a necessary method to exploit shale gas, and the imbibition behavior of fracturing fluid can cause the pore structure variation. At present, the evaluation of this variation has less been investigated, and repeated...
