Dynamic Hydraulic Fracture Propagation Using a Fully Coupled Simulator

摘要

1. Current 2D models are not efficient in predicting hydraulic fracturing geometry in mixed mode loading situations 2. There is a Need to Cover the Gap Between Traditional Simulator and Newly Encountered Problems 3. Adding more complexity to currently used model, The chance of uncontrolled hydraulic fracture propagation reduces 4. The simulator may be used in the study of multi fracture systems 5. Higher injection rate and higher viscosity results in larger re-orientation radius. 6. This larger radius can be related to normal and shear displacement at the crack tip.
