Summary: | Revised to include current components considered for todays unconventional and multi-fracture grids, this Second Edition explains one of the most important features for fracture design the ability to predict the geometry and characteristics of the hydraulically induced fracture. With two-thirds of the worlds oil and natural gas reserves committed to unconventional resources, hydraulic fracturing is the best proven well stimulation method to extract these resources from their more remote and complex reservoirs. However, few hydraulic fracture models can properly simulate more complex fractures. Engineers and well designers must understand the underlying mechanics of how fractures are modeled in order to correctly predict and forecast a more advanced fracture network. |
