Abstract:Hydraulic fracturing
is a well stimulation technique involving
the fracturing of bedrock formations by a pressurized liquid, in which
proppants are added to keep the fracture open after the fracturing
operation. The scale discrepancy between the rock specimen and the
proppant may bring deviations in the analysis of proppant embedment
depth if the fluid-deteriorated formation is treated as an isotropic
medium. This study tries to uncover the origins of these deviations
through numerical and analytical analyses.… Show more
