- Abstract
Hydraulic fracturing is crucial for extracting shale oil and gas. This technique involves creating fractures in rock formations to enhance reservoir development efficiently. Due to the complexity of shale rock, it is important to conduct multiscale investigations into the fracturing process. Despite extensive research, the technology for deep-underground shale hydraulic fracturing continues to advance as it moves deeper underground. This paper explores the existing technical challenges of shale fracturing, review the current status of physical experiments and numerical simulations, and highlight the importance of multiscale numerical simulation methods. Meanwhile, an integrated approach to optimizing fracturing designs for field cases is introduced. Finally, this paper summarizes the challenges and opportunities in shale hydraulic fracturing, aiming to provide fresh insights into the advancements of hydraulic fracturing technology.
