... are potentially initiated and propagated together in one horizontal wellbore. A key operational parameter is the clusters spacing, which could determine the success of the operation. The stress perturbation owing to placement of multiple fractures can affect the fracture geometry such as length, aperture, height...

... between reservoir and injected water temperatures. This difference reduces the initial stress state of the reservoir, also decreasing the fracture pressure, and the induced fracture will propagate at a lower pressure than those calculated by isothermal methods. This work describes a methodology...

... scenarios. In this work, a fully coupled cohesive fracture model is used to simulate hydraulic fracturing processes considering the propagation of a vertical planar fluid-driven fracture for a transient analyses. This paper is focused on the pressure required for crack extension and on the resulting...

... Propagation The caving-limit estimates are given by rock mass displacement criteria that are based on empirical data. From numerous back-analyses of cave propagation (e.g., Northparkes, El Teniente, Palabora), Itasca has determined that the predicted 1-m displacement iso-surface represents the approximate...
