A criterion for identifying a mixed-mode I/II hydraulic fracture crossing a natural fracture in the subsurface

open access: yesEnergy Exploration & Exploitation, 2020
Hydraulic fracturing has been proven to be an effective technique for stimulating petroleum reservoirs. During the hydraulic fracturing process, the effects of the natural fracture, perforation orientation, stress reorientation, etc.

Moiré interferometry applied to fracture in titanium tubes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Despite there being a substantial body of evidence to the contrary, moiré interferometry is often regarded - even by some adherents - as a curiosity of the optics lab.

Investigation on the mechanism of hydraulic fracture propagation and fracture geometry control in tight heterogeneous glutenites

open access: yesEnergy Exploration & Exploitation, 2022
The tight heterogeneous glutenites are typically characterized by highly variable lithology, low/ultra-low permeability, significant heterogeneity, and a less-developed natural fracture system.

Examining the effect of cemented natural fractures on hydraulic fracture propagation in hydrostone block experiments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
textMicro seismic data and coring studies suggest that hydraulic fractures interact heavily with natural fractures creating complex fracture networks in naturally fractured reservoirs such as the Barnett shale, the Eagle Ford shale, and the Marcellus ...

Analysis of the Influence of Hydraulic Fracturing Fluid Velocity on Fracture Propagation

open access: yesGeofluids, 2023
To reveal the influence of fracturing fluid velocity on hydraulic fracturing fracture propagation, a hydraulic fracturing numerical model was established based on a coalbed methane (CBM) field in the northeast of China.

Hydraulic fracture optimization using hydraulic fracture and reservoir modeling in the Piceance Basin, Colorado [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
textHydraulic fracturing is an important stimulation method for producing unconventional gas reserves. Natural fractures are present in many low-permeability gas environments and often provide important production pathways for natural gas. The production

Buoyancy-driven crack propagation: the limit of large fracture toughness [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We study steady vertical propagation of a crack filled with buoyant viscous fluid through an elastic solid with large effective fracture toughness. For a crack fed by a constant flux Q, a non-dimensional fracture toughness K=Kc/(3μQm3/2)1/4 describes the

Experimental investigation on hydraulic fracture propagation of coal shale reservoirs under multi-gas co-production

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao, 2022
The gas-bearing formations, including shale, coal and limestone rock, are alternately and vertically developed in coal shale reservoirs. Multiple unconventional natural gases can be exploited together through the hydraulic fracture longitudinally ...

Simulation‐Based Analysis of Insert Pull‐Out in Nickel‐Polyurethane Hybrid Foams Using CT‐Derived Geometries

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
CT‐based finite element simulations combined with in situ X‐ray computed tomography are used to analyze insert pull‐out in nickel‐coated polymer foams. Despite variations in material parameters, deformation consistently concentrates within a narrow annular region around the insert.
