Numerical Modeling of Hydraulic Fractures Interaction in Complex Naturally Fractured Formations
TL;DR: In this article, a method for computing the stress shadow from fracture branches in a complex hydraulic fracture network (HFN) based on an enhanced 2D displacement discontinuity method with correction for finite fracture height is implemented in UFM and is presented in detail including approach validation and examples.

TL;DR: The authors showed that the occurrence of complex fracture growth is much more common than initially anticipated and is becoming more prevalent with the increased development of unconventional reservoirs (shale-gas) and that the nature and degree of fracture complexity must be clearly understood to select the best stimulation design and completion strategy.
