Numerical Modeling of Hydraulic Fracturing in Cohesionless Sand: Validation Against Laboratory Experiments
Download2015-01-01
Slavash Taghipoor, Alireza Nouri, Dave Chan
Summary In this paper, a new hydraulic-fracturing model is introduced for cohesionless sand, which is also applicable to weak sandstone formations with high permeability and low shear strength. Phenomena such as shear-band development and shear-enhanced permeability are of paramount importance...
