This paper presents a numerical investigation of hydraulic fracturing in oil sands during cold water injection by considering the aspects of both geomechanics and reservoir fluid flow. According to previous studies, the low shear strengths of unconsolidated or weakly consolidated sandstone...

There are aspects of the hydraulic fracturing process that remain unresolved for weakly consolidated sandstones. These issues include fracture modes and geometries for weak sandstones, and higher-than-expected fracture pressure in some field projects. The development of shear bands and the...
