Containment of massive hydraulic fractures
Conference

OSTI ID:7322008
Hydraulic fracture containment is discussed from the point of view of linear elastic fracture mechanics. Three cases are analyzed: (a) Effect of different material properties for the pay zone and the barrier formation, (b) Characteristic of fracture propagation into region of varying in situ stress and (c) Effect of hydrostatic pressure gradients on fracture propagation into overlying or underlying barrier formations. The analysis shows the importance of the elastic properties, the in situ stresses, and the pressure gradients on fracture containment.
