... of multiple hydraulic fracture propagation in horizontal wells. 1. INTRODUCTION In recent years, production of tight oil and shale gas has increased exponentially in the United States. Multiple fracture treatments in horizontal wellbores are becoming a prevalent approach to economically develop...

... a hydraulic fracture model that predicts single and multi-fracture propagation. The model simultaneously simulates the dynamic growth of multiple fractures while addressing the stress interference between the fractures and its effect on fracture propagation. The hydraulic fracture model is based...

... that more than one fracture could exist. Knowing how a wellbore will behave under multiple-fracture conditions is recommended for engineers when designing a treatment or formulation to cope with the challenge from various lost circulation conditions. Following previous discussions, further study...

The computer program DIGS (Discontinuity Interaction and Growth Simulation) was used to simulate the propagation of multiple fractures from a blasthole due to the gas pressure generated by the explosive charge...

... from test results using a rock containing multiple fractures. Experiments performed with well defined boundary conditions and fracture systems will contribute significantly understanding fundamental physical mechanisms associated with flow through fracture networks. DESCRIPTION OF THE EXPERIMENT...

..., and the resulting crea- tion of high pressure gases, multiple fractures can be made to extend radially from the hole in many angular directions that would normally be opposed by the in-situ stress field. This process is in contrast to the hi-winged, least principal stress-directed fractures normally associated...
