The perforating phase leads to complex and diverse hydraulic fracture propagation behaviors in lami-nated shale formations.In this paper,a 2D high-speed imaging scheme which can capture the interaction between perforating phase and natural shale bedding planes was proposed.The phase field method was used to simulate the same conditions as in the experiment for verification and hydraulic fracture propagation mechanism under the competition of perforating phase and bedding planes was discussed.The results indicate that the bedding planes appear to be no influence on fracture propagation while the perforating phase is perpendicular to the bedding planes,and the fracture propagates along the perfo-rating phase without deflection.When the perforating phase algins with the bedding planes,the fracture initiation pressure reserves the lowest value,and no deflection occurs during fracture propagation.When the perforating phase is the angle 45°,60° and 75° of bedding planes,the bedding planes begin to play a key role on the fracture deflection.The maximum deflection degree is reached at the perforating phase of 75°.Numerical simulation provides evidence that the existence of shale bedding planes is not exactly equivalent to anisotropy for fracture propagation and the difference of mechanical properties between different shale layers is the fundamental reason for fracture deflection.The findings help to understand the intrinsic characteristics of shale and provide a theoretical basis for the optimization design of field perforation parameters.
