Along with horizontal drilling techniques, multi-stage hydraulic fracturing has improved shale
gas production significantly in past decades. In order to understand the mechanism of …

Abstract Development of numerical methods for hydraulic fracture simulation has
accelerated in the past two decades. Recent advances in hydraulic fracture modeling and …

The prediction of fluid-and moisture-driven crack propagation in deforming porous media
has achieved increasing interest in recent years, in particular with regard to the modeling of …

Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on fundamentals of poroelasticity. The presence of
a freely moving fluid in a porous rock modifies its mechanical response. Two mechanisms …

This paper describes a fully coupled finite element/finite volume approach for simulating
field‐scale hydraulically driven fractures in three dimensions, using massively parallel …

This paper considers the problem of a fluid-driven fracture propagating in a permeable
poroelastic medium. We develop a zero-thickness finite element to model the fracture. The …

In this paper, a fully coupled numerical model is developed for the modeling of the hydraulic
fracture propagation in porous media using the extended finite element method in …

This paper presents a hybrid modeling approach for simulating hydraulic fracture
propagation in saturated porous media: ordinary state-based peridynamics is used to …

All reservoirs are fractured to some degree. Depending on the density, dimension,
orientation and the cementation of natural fractures and the location where the hydraulic …

With the increasingly wide use of hydraulic fracturing in the petroleum industry, it is essential
to accurately predict the behavior of fracture propagations based on the understanding of …
