Modeling method for rock heterogeneities and multiple hydraulic fractures propagation based on homogenization approach and PHF-LSM
Abstract
Hydraulic fracturing is an important technique to enhance the production rate of oil and gas. We extend the functions of Permeability-based Hydraulic Fracture, Level Set Method (PHF-LSM) by including homogenization approaches to take into account the influence of the heterogeneities of rock media at both mesoscale and macroscale during hydraulic fracture propagation. The center position pattern of mesoscale heterogeneities is generated by …
