Numerical and experimental investigation of the interaction of natural and propagated hydraulic fracture
TLDR
In this article, the authors investigated the interaction of hydraulic and natural fractures based on numerical and experimental studies and showed that increasing the angle between plane of natural fracture and direction of maximum horizontal stress increases the chance of hydraulic fracture to cross the natural fractures.About:

TL;DR: In this article, mineback experiments and laboratory tests and analyses of these data are integrated to describe this complex fracture behavior, which can occur by arresting the growth of the fracture, increasing fluid leakoff, hindering proppant transport, and enhancing the creation of multiple fractures.
Influence of geologic discontinuities on hydraulic fracture propagation
N.R. Warpinski,L.W. Teufel +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, mineback experiments are integrated to describe the complex fracture behavior found and to provide guidelines for predicting when this complex fracturing will occur, which can occur by arresting lateral or vertical propagation of a fracture, reducing total fracture length via fluid leakoff, limiting proppant transport and placement and enhancing the creation of multiple or secondary fractures rather than a single planar hydraulic fracture.

An experimentally verified criterion for propagation across unbounded frictional interfaces in brittle, linear elastic materials

TL;DR: In this paper, a first order analysis of the stresses near a mode I fracture impinging upon a frictional interface oriented normal to the growing fracture results in a simple criterion that predicts whether a growing fracture will terminate at or cross the interface.
