Modeling hydraulic fracture in heterogeneous rock materials using permeability-based hydraulic fracture model
Abstract
Hydraulic fracturing is one of the most important techniques for enhancing oil/gas production. The permeability-based hydraulic fracture (PHF) model, which is based on the smeared-crack method and considers the interaction between the pore pressure and solid phase, is adopted in the present study for a fully-coupled simulation of the hydraulic fracture in a heterogeneous rock formation. The level set method (LSM), which is used to describe the …
