In-situ stresses: the predominant influence on hydraulic fracture containment
Journal Article
·
· J. Pet. Technol.; (United States)
In-situ experiments, which are accessible by mineback, have been conducted to determine the parameters that control hydraulic fracture containment. These experiments demonstrate that a stress contrast between the pay zone and a bounding layer is the most important factor controlling fracture height. Material property interfaces are shown to have little effect. 19 refs.
