Considering the degree of natural fracture closure,a stress field model of natural fracture face with approaching hydraulic fracture is developed via elasticity theory and fracture mechanics.Moreover,this paper clarifies the definition of induced-stress of hydraulic fracture and the way it works.Based on the sensitivity study of influences on natural fracture stability,it is found that the approaching hydraulic fracture can significantly affect the stability,and the factors include the horizontal principal stress ratio,horizontal principal stress contrast,approaching angle,approaching distance,net pressure,degree of natural fracture closure and the length of hydraulic fracture.In this study,it is also found that the approaching angle and approaching distance deviate the position of shear failure center from original,and the role of horizontal principal stress contrast and its ratio,approaching angle and the net pressure are much more critical in stability of natural fracture than other factors.This paper also analyzes the range within which the shear failure occurs.According to the analysis of the stability of natural facture when the hydraulic facture is approaching,the impacts of hydraulic fracture to the stability of natural fracture are expounded in this paper;therefore,it provides a foothold for developing an accurate and systematic theory of network fracturing in future.
