The invention discloses a test method for researching a connection mechanism of a hydraulic fracture and a high-angle shear
type fracture, and belongs to the technical field of rock
hydraulic fracturing indoor tests. According to the test method for studying the connection mechanism of the hydraulic fracture and the high-angle shear
type fracture, a through fracture is prefabricated in the position, close to the top, of the side face of a sample, high-temperature thermal
detonation treatment is conducted on the inner side of the through fracture, so that a gradient
damage zone is formed, and a perforation is machined upwards in the center of the bottom face of the sample; placing the treated sample in an experimental device, and pasting a plurality of
acoustic emission probes on the surface of the sample; confining pressure and
axial pressure are sequentially applied in a staged loading mode, then high-pressure water injection fracturing is continuously carried out in the perforation at a
constant rate, and when the sample is fractured, the
fracture pressure and the corresponding flow are recorded; according to the flow-
pressure curve obtained through the test, the
acoustic emission probe collects information, the
hydraulic fracturing process is analyzed, and in combination with the CT three-dimensional reconstruction technology after the test, the communication rule of the
hydraulic fracturing crack and the through crack is obtained.
