Hydraulic fracture propagation direction during volume fracturing in unconventional reservoirs
TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive numerical model is developed to study the fracture propagation direction during volume fracturing of unconventional reservoirs, based on elastic and fracturing mechanics of a rock, as well as the maximum circumferential stress criterion and boundary element method.

Stimulated reservoir volume estimation for shale gas fracturing: Mechanism and modeling approach
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a mathematical model to estimate the stimulated reservoir volume (SRV) through simulating the main process during shale fracturing, where multiple simultaneous hydraulic fractures propagate, perturbing the formation stress and raising the reservoir pressure; meanwhile, the stress change and pressure rise may jointly make natural fractures occur failure, and the SRV is estimated based on the volume of the naturally fractured zone that experiences tensile or shear failure.

Development of a new correlation to determine the static Young’s modulus
TL;DR: In this paper, an accurate and robust correlation for static Young's modulus to be estimated directly from log data without the need for core measurements was developed, which was tested for different cases with different lithology such as calcite, dolomite and sandstone.

Off-Balance Growth: A New Concept in Hydraulic Fracturing
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a new fracturing concept that explains how and why actual hydraulic fractures deviate from the commonly accepted single-fracture growth models and demonstrate that the fracture follows the local path of least resistance, not the global path, and this leads to substantial branching, presence of extensive shear fractures, and a growth pattern that is dominated by conditions at the tip of the propagating fracture.

Numerical Simulation of Complex Fracture Network Development by Hydraulic Fracturing in Naturally Fractured Ultratight Formations
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed sensitivity analysis is presented to identify typical fracture network patterns resulting from massive water fracturing treatments in different geological conditions, and the applicability of the DFN simulator for modeling shale gas stimulation and hot-dry-rock (HDR) geothermal systems to improve the contact area to the rock matrix.
