... fracture and randomly oriented natural fractures. It computes the stresses acting on the natural fractures induced by the three in-situ principal stresses plus an actively growing hydraulic fracture. It shows that as the inclination of the natural fracture with respect to the vertical plane increases...

... on numerical techniques with assumed fracture growth models, and varying approximations of the closing/closed fracture width. This paper uses a rigorous analytical approach to compute the effects of stress shadowing at different stages of fracture closure, and its effect on the pressure and orientation...
