Cementing failure of the casing-cement-rock interfaces during hydraulic fracturing
TL;DR: Using the principle of damage mechanics, zero-thickness pore pressure cohesive elements (PPCE) are used to simulate the casing-cement interface (CCI) and cement-rock interface (CRI), and the emergence and propagation of fractures along the wellbore axial and circumferential direction are simulated.

Effect of the intermediate principal stress on hydraulic fracturing in granite: an experimental study
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of different intermediate principal stresses, i.e., various horizontal principal stresses on the fluid fracturing pressure and failure pattern was studied, and a modified criterion was proposed to reflect the influence of intermediate principal stress on the formation breakdown pressure.

A numerical study of fracture initiation under different loads during hydraulic fracturing
TL;DR: In this article, a Mohr-Coulomb criterion with a tensile cut-off is incorporated into the finite element code to determine the fracture initiation type and location during the hydraulic fracturing process.

Fracture propagation model using multiple planar fracture with mixed mode in naturally fractured reservoir
TL;DR: In this article, a multi-stage hydraulic fracture propagation model using multiple planar fracture with mixed mode is proposed, which linearly superposes two modes of opening and sliding, and the model is coupled with commercial reservoir flow simulator through grid mapping process in the form of discrete fracture network developed in this work.

Strain-energy-density factor applied to mixed mode crack problems
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the general problem of crack extension in a combined stress field where a crack can grow in any arbitrary direction with reference to its original position, and showed that the direction of crack growth and fracture toughness for the mixed problem of Mode I and Mode II are governed by the critical value of the strain-energy-density factor.

A Practical Use of Shale Petrophysics for Stimulation Design Optimization: All Shale Plays Are Not Clones of the Barnett Shale
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper conducted a study on the relationship between the wireline log analysis and measured mineralogy, acid solubility, and capillary suction time test results for shale reservoirs.

Propagation of a Vertical Hydraulic Fracture
TL;DR: In this paper, the propagation of hydraulic fractures of limited vertical extent and elliptic cross section is discussed, with the effect of fluid loss included, and numerical and asymptotic approximate solutions in dimensionless form are given.

Strain Energy Release Rate for a Crack under Combined Mode I and Mode II.
Hussain,S L Pu,J H Underwood +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, the energy release rate for a crack subjected simultaneously to mode I and mode II conditions is computed by path independent integrals, using the elastic solution of a deflected crack, having a main branch and a propagation branch.
