Book ChapterDOI
Fundamentals of Poroelasticity
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the fundamentals of poroelasticity, and discuss the formulation and analysis of coupled deformation-diffusion processes, within the framework of the Biot theory of pore elasticity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Propagation Regimes of Fluid-Driven Fractures in Impermeable Rocks
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a theoretical framework to understand and predict the different modes of propagation of a fluid-driven fracture in impermeable rocks and identify the parameters controlling the fracture growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Poroelastic response of a borehole in a non-hydrostatic stress field
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors deal with the solution of the stress, displacement, and pore pressure field induced by the drilling and/or the pressurization of a vertical borehole.
Journal ArticleDOI
A phenomenological model for the drilling action of drag bits
Emmanuel Detournay,P. Defourny +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a linear relation between the specific energy E and the drilling strength L two quantities with dimensions of stress, that are respectively proportional to T and W, and inversely proportional to δ, is derived.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanics of Hydraulic Fractures
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the interplay and the competition between these processes, which reveal the shifting influence of the far-field stress, viscous dissipation, fracture energy, and leak-off as the fracture propagates.
