Hydraulic Fracturing‐Induced Seismicity [PDF]
Reviews of Geophysics, 2020 AbstractHydraulic fracturing (HF) is a technique that is used for extracting petroleum resources from impermeable host rocks. In this process, fluid injected under high pressure causes fractures to propagate. This technique has been transformative for the hydrocarbon industry, unlocking otherwise stranded resources; however, environmental concerns make

A criterion for identifying hydraulic fractures crossing natural fractures in 3D space
Petroleum Exploration and Development, 2014 Based on the analysis of the stress fields near the hydraulic fracture tip and on the natural fracture surface, a criterion for identifying hydraulic fractures crossing natural fractures was proposed. A series of hydraulic fracturing tests were conducted

Effects of fracture aperture and roughness on hydraulic and mechanical properties of rocks : implication of seismic characterization of fractured reservoirs [PDF]
, 2005 Roughness and aperture are two important characteristic parameters controlling fluid flow in natural joints and fractures. It has been demonstrated by many authors that knowledge of roughness does not directly lead to that of aperture, and aperture ...

Characterizing Natural Fractures and Their Interactions with Hydraulically Induced Fractures [PDF]
, 2018 Natural fractures are preexisting micro-cracks and fissures that can have a critical impact on hydraulic fracture treatments in shales. Most shale formations contain natural fractures, but the characteristics of these natural fractures can vary ...
