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

Hydraulic fractures represent a particular class of tensile fractures that propagate in solid
media under pre-existing compressive stresses as a result of internal pressurization by an …

Naturally fractured rock mass is highly inhomogeneous and contains geological
discontinuities at various length scales. Hydraulic fracture stimulation in such a medium …

Abstract “Stimulated reservoir volume”(SRV) makes it possible for commercial production of
shale gas by means of multistage fracturing of horizontal wells. However, the formation …

Although high gas flow rates from shales are a relatively recent phenomenon, the
knowledge bases of shale-specific well completions, fracturing and shale well operations …

Magma transport in brittle rock occurs by diking. Understanding the dynamics of diking and
its observable consequences is essential to deciphering magma propagation in volcanic …

The effects of rock inherent heterogeneity and grain size on hydraulic fracture initiation and
propagation for different propagation regimes are investigated through two dimensional …

In this contribution, we present a review of scientific research results that address seismo-
hydromechanically coupled processes relevant for the development of a sustainable heat …

This paper presents a general overview of hydraulic fracturing models developed and
applied to simulation of complex fractures in naturally fractured shale reservoirs. It discusses …

Multistage fracturing of the horizontal well is recognized as the main stimulation technology
for shale gas development. The hydraulic fracture geometry and stimulated reservoir volume …
