Shushuai Wang is affiliated with China University of Petroleum (Beijing), China. His research focuses on hydraulic fracturing, shale reservoir stimulation, true-triaxial physical modeling, and fracture propagation under complex in-situ stress conditions. He has conducted experimental studies on non-principal-stress wellbore placement, bedding-controlled fracture evolution, and breakdown pressure responses in shale. His current work aims to clarify the mechanisms of hydraulic fracture initiation and propagation in deep shale reservoirs and to support optimized well placement and fracturing design
