... into rock mass. That is why sliding mode also needs to be considered. With the use of the model, this study analyzed the effects of the brittleness on fracture propagating behavior and gas recovery for tight formations with respect to Poisson's ratio and Young's modulus. We investigated the modeling...

... Abstract Augmented by the recent activities in unconventional reservoirs, it can be easily said that hydraulic fracturing has become a pivotal component for the successful development of unconventional reservoirs. This novel study deals with the investigation of fracture propagation behavior...
