Experimental Study to Quantify Fracture Propagation in Hydraulic Fracturing Treatment. [PDF]
Hydraulic fracturing plays an important role in the commercial development of unconventional oil and gas, which is directly related to the production of oil and gas wells. An accurate evaluation is critical for hydraulic fracturing, but it is urgent to propose a quantitative assessment of hydraulic fracturing fracture propagation for realizing ...

Fracture propagation characteristics and failure mechanisms of parallel-fractured sandstone. [PDF]
It is important to study the fracture mechanism of fractured rocks. Uniaxial compression tests and discrete element numerical simulations were conducted on sandstone specimens with fixed dip angles and parallel fractures. With the help of acoustic emission detection technology, the effects of different fracture spacings and number of fractures on the ...

Simulation of 3D fracture propagation under I-II-III mixed-mode loading
Fracture propagation under mixed-mode loading conditions prevails in many natural geological processes and deep engineering projects, while the corresponding numerical simulation is very challenging in rock mechanics, especially in 3D cases.
