Hydraulic Fracturing of Poorly Consolidated Reservoir During Waterflooding

Emmanuel Detournay,
Yera Hakobyan

Abstract: This paper describes a KGD-type model of a hydraulic fracture created by injecting fluid in weak, poorly consolidated rocks. The model is based on the key assumption that the hydraulic fracture is propagating within a domain where the hydraulic fields are quasi-stationary. By further assuming a negligible toughness, the fracture is shown to grow as a square root of time. The asymptotic fracture propagation regimes at small and large time are constructed and the transient solution is computed by solving a nonli… Show more
