Unconventional oil and gas are important resources of future energy supply, and shale gas is the focus of the development of unconventional resources. Shale is a special kind rock of porous medium, and an orderly structure of beddings aligned in the horizontal direction where causing the strong elastic anisotropy of shale is easy. A new model has been established to calculate the fracture initiation pressure with the consideration of mechanical characteristics of shale and the anisotropic tensile strength when judging rock failure. The fracture initiation model established in this paper accurately reflects the stress anisotropy and matches well with the actual situation in porous media. Through the sensitivity analysis, the results show that σv/σH, Ev/EH, υv/υH, m/s, and A/B have a certain impact on the tangential stress when the circumferential angle changes, and there is a positive relationship between the initiation pressure and the above sensitive factors except for A/B. The results can provide a valuable and effective guidance for the prediction of fracture initiation pressure and fracture propagation mechanism under special stratum conditions of shale.

Fracture initiation is a key factor of hydraulic fracturing, as lack of research on fracture initiation position.The perforation geostress mechanical model of low permeability reservoir is built according to the rock mechanics, seepage mechanics, elastic-plastic mechanics, considering solid-fluid coupling and rock material nonlinearity. Adopting the transient analysis, low-permeability reservoir geostress distribution of different stages is obtained using the finite element, such as drilling - cementing - perforation –fracturing. Determine the fracture initiation position and fracture pressure combining with the rock failure criterion. Calculated on well Ao332-32, the error rate of initiation pressure between test and calculation is 3.5 percent. It is proved that the model is reasonable.
