Abstract: Accurate understanding of the hydraulic fracture morphology and orientation can be of significance for horizontal well deployment and fracturing design optimization. Nine sections of hydraulic fractures are monitored using tiltmeter, and the morphologies of them are obtained, followed by physical simulating in?situ stress state in this block and hydraulic fractures in CBM using true triaxial hydraulic fracturing simulation system. Monitoring and the experimental results show that the fracture propagation is dominated by horizontal fracture. To make hydraulic fracturing within one of the layers by horizontal well process is hard to shape effective connection of the multiple layers in longitudinal direction. It is concluded that such a process of horizontal well plus hydraulic fracturing to connect multiple layers in Jixian block has a great risk of investment
