Simulation of 3D fracture propagation under I-II-III mixed-mode loading
Rock Mechanics Bulletin, 2023 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.

A Numerical Study of Hydraulic Fracture Propagation Geometry in a Layered Shale Reservoir
Geofluids, 2022 An unconventional shale reservoir commonly develops multiple layers and shows strong anisotropy in mechanical properties, which has a great effect on hydraulic fracture propagation geometry.

Theoretical Analysis of the Mechanism of Fracture Network Propagation with Stimulated Reservoir Volume (SRV) Fracturing in Tight Oil Reservoirs. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Stimulated reservoir volume (SRV) fracturing in tight oil reservoirs often induces complex fracture-network growth, which has a fundamentally different formation mechanism from traditional planar bi-winged fracturing.

Modeling weak snow layer fracture in propagation saw test using an ice column model
Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2022 Fracture initiation and propagation in a weak snow layer are two primary processes of the slab avalanche formation process. This study proposes a model for the weak snow layer and investigates the fracture propagation process.

, 2023 AbstractIn previous theories regarding hydraulic fracture propagation, it is usually assumed the fluid pressure within the hydraulic fracture is constant in the calculation of the surrounding stress field. The actual fluid pressure during fracturing process, however, is often fluctuating, due to the disturbance of the irregular surface of rock fracture

Hydraulic Fracture Propagation and Proppant Transport Mechanism in Interlayered Reservoir
Energies, 2023 Hydraulic fracture is crucial for assuring well production from unconventional reservoirs. For the optimization of hydraulic fracture geometry and the ensuing production of an interlayered reservoir, vertical hydraulic fracture propagation path has been ...

A Two-Dimensional Theory of Fracture Propagation [PDF]
SPE Production Engineering, 1986 Summary A basic theory of two-dimensional (2D) fracture propagation has been developed with a Lagrangian formulation combined with a virtual work analysis. Fluid leakoff is included by the assumption that an incompressible filtrate produces a piston-like displacement of a compressible reservoir fluid with a moving boundary between the ...
