A new chart of hydraulic fracture height prediction based on fluid–solid coupling equations and rock fracture mechanics [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 The conventional method to predict hydraulic fracture height depends on linear elastic mechanics, and the typical Gulrajani–Nolte chart fails to reflect fracture height when the net pressure in the fracture is too high.

The Investigation on Initiation and Propagation of Hydraulic Fractures in Shale Reservoir
Geofluids, 2021 Hydraulic fracturing is a necessary technique for shale gas exploitation. In order to have efficient stimulation treatment, a complex fracture network has to be developed, whereas with rich bedding planes and natural fractures, the mechanism of forming a

Journal of Petroleum Exploration and Production Technology, 2020 All reservoirs are fractured to some degree. Depending on the density, dimension, orientation and the cementation of natural fractures and the location where the hydraulic fracturing is done, preexisting natural fractures can impact hydraulic fracture ...
