A model of three dimensional fracture propagation in blanket sands bounded by higher-stress zones is described. The comparative effects of stress contrast, fracture toughness, and elastic modules on fracture shape and bottomhole pressure are examined. Some preliminary modeling of fracture propagation in a lenticular gas sand are also considered briefly. The goal of this work is to investigate how fracture height and bottomhole pressure respond to variations of in-situ stress and rock properties. 25 refs.
