A composite criterion to predict subsequent intersection behavior between a hydraulic fracture and a natural fracture

Engineering Fracture Mechanics, 2019
Hydraulic fracturing is a highly effective technique applied to enhance the productivity of unconventional reservoirs. The fracture induced by hydraulic fracturing operation may cross, open or get arrested by the pre-existing discontinuities in naturally

Variational Principles for Hydraulic Fracturing

Journal of Applied Mechanics, 1992
A new application of an energy rate variational principle for hydraulic fracturing processes is introduced. The formation structural, fracture mechanics, and fracture fluid flow responses are integrally coupled in this treatment. This unified principle, with various specialized forms, provides a formal framework for the study of continuum as well as ...

Study on the interaction mechanism between hydraulic fracture and natural karst cave with the extended finite element method

Engineering Fracture Mechanics, 2019
In this paper, a numerical model was established to simulate hydraulic fracture interaction with natural cave using the extended finite element method. The proposed model was verified by numerical model of crack interaction with void problem and analytic

Numerical analysis of the effects of bedded interfaces on hydraulic fracture propagation in tight multilayered reservoirs considering hydro-mechanical coupling

Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering, 2019
Tight multilayered hydrocarbon reservoirs are typical in unconventional oil and gas extraction, in which widespread bedded interfaces have crucial effects on hydraulic fracturing propagation behavior. However, because of the complex natural properties of

Numerical simulation of hydraulic fracture propagation in naturally fractured formations using the cohesive zone model

Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering, 2018
This paper presents an integrated methodology that utilizes the cohesive zone model (CZM) to simulate propagation of hydraulic fractures, and their interactions with pre-existing natural fractures.

Influence of gravel on the propagation pattern of hydraulic fracture in the glutenite reservoir

Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering, 2018
The clear mechanism of hydraulic fracture propagation in glutenite reservoirs with high heterogeneity is still not obtained, thus it is difficult to carry out the design of fracturing plan effectively.

Fracture toughness and hydraulic fracturing

International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences & Geomechanics Abstracts, 1989
Abstract A study of the influence of fracture toughness on the shape of a hydraulically induced fracture is presented. Three-dimensional numerical simulations of fracture propagation show that fracture toughness is not the main controlling parameter if one chooses fracture toughness values determined at ambient conditions.
