Hydraulic fractures are driven by an internal fluid pressure exceeding the minimum compressive stress, propagating in a direction perpendicular to the latter. This class of tensile fractures has gained interest over the last fifty years due to the developm ...
2023Elongated hydraulic fracture emerging from layers of alternating fracture toughness
Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Carlo Peruzzo
Whether used to enhance the hydrocarbon production from low permeability rocks or to measure the minimum in-situ principal stress in rock formations, height growth of a hydraulic fracture above the formation of interest is a key metric for the design of su ...

Depending on the type of fracture propagation regime when the injection stops, the closure of the fracture may occur exactly after the injection ceases, in the case where the fracturing process is dominated by fracture energy, or the fracture propagate for ...

Hydraulic fracturing is a widespread technology used to enhance reservoir production but also to measure the in-situ stress field. It consists of growing a tensile (mode I) fracture via the injection of a viscous fluid (usually at a constant rate) from a w ...
