Abstract: Hydraulic fracturing operation success is critically dependent on pre-operation fracture geometry analysis. Meantime, hydraulic fracture opening determination is crucial because it deals with maintaining sufficient aperture and efficient communication pathways to accomplish proppant placement and… read more here.
