Simulating Fully 3D Hydraulic Fracturing
1.0 Introduction Hydraulic fracturing, the process of initiation and propagation of a crack by pumping fluid at relatively high flow rates and pressures, is one of several techniques for creating cracks in rock. Fractures in the earth's crust are desired for a variety of reasons, including enhanced oil and gas recovery, re-injection of drilling or other environmentally sensitive wastes, measure...

متن کاملNumerical Modeling of Hydraulic Fracturing in Oil Sands
Hydraulic fracturing is a widely used and e cient technique for enhancing oil extraction from heavy oil sands deposits. Application of this technique has been extended from cemented rocks to uncemented materials, such as oil sands. Models, which have originally been developed for analyzing hydraulic fracturing in rocks, are in general not satisfactory for oil sands. This is due to a high leak-o...
متن کاملNumerical modeling of hydraulic fracturing in carbonate rocks of Bangestan reservoir
Hydraulic fracturing is used in the oil industry in order to increase the index of production and processing in the wells whose efficiencies have been dropped due to a long-term harvest or the rocks around the wells are of low permeability. Since the hydraulic fracturing operation is costly, it is of special importance to the project managers to determine the pressure required for hydraulic fra...
متن کاملModeling 3d Hydraulic Fracture Propagation and Thermal Fracturing Using Virtual Multidimensional Internal Bonds
Fracture propagation, especially for fractures emanating from inclined wellbores and closed natural fracture often involves Mode I, Mode II, and at times Mode III fracture pattern simultaneously. In this paper a Virtual Multidimensional Internal Bond (VMIB) model is presented to simulate 3D mixedmode fracture propagation. To represent the contact and friction between fracture surfaces, a threed...
