In the article the results of laboratory studies on unstable fracture propagation in injection well are presented alongside with the verification of previously proposed model [Тримонова, Дубиня] verification using the results of experimental studies. The experimental studies were carried out in accordance with the similarity criterion between the experimentally studied material and the rock properties under the in-situ state. The similarity criterion was chaosen according to the possibilitiesof the experimental complex. The joint study of the possibilities of the experimental complex, mathematical model and similarity theory makes a basis for the application of mathematical model of water-induced hydraulic fracture propagation while modeling the reservoir exploitation process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
