Propagation of fluid driven fractures in transversely isotropic material

Fatima-Ezzahra Moukhtari

The propagation of fluid driven fractures is used in a number of industrial applications (well stimulation of unconventional reservoirs, development of deep geothermal systems) but also occurs naturally (magmatic dyke intrusion). While the mechanics of hyd ...

Planar hydraulic fracture growth perpendicular to the isotropy plane in a transversely isotropic material

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Haseeb Zia, Fatima-Ezzahra Moukhtari

The configuration of a hydraulic fracture (HF) propagating perpendicular to the isotropy plane of a transversely isotropic (TI) material is encountered in most sedimentary basins. We account for both elastic and fracture toughness anisotropy, and investiga ...

Propagation of a planar hydraulic fracture perpendicular to the isotropy plane of a transversely isotropic material

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Haseeb Zia, Fatima-Ezzahra Moukhtari

We investigate the case of a hydraulic fracture (HF) propagating perpendicular to the isotropy plane of a transversely isotropic material: a relevant configuration for the growth of HFs in sedimentary rocks where fractures are propagating vertically across ...

A semi-infinite hydraulic fracture driven by a shear-thinning fluid

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Fatima-Ezzahra Moukhtari

We use the Carreau rheological model which properly accounts for the shear-thinning behaviour between the low and high shear rate Newtonian limits to investigate the problem of a semi-infinite hydraulic fracture propagating at a constant velocity in an imp ...
