DOI: 10.2118/205357-pa
Abstract: In this paper, we propose a hydromechanical model to simulate hydraulic fracture propagation in deep shale formations. The Drucker-Prager plasticity theory, Darcy’s law, Reynolds lubrication theory, and Kirchoff’s laws are adopted to describe the plastic… read more here.
