Abstract: Abstract One of the challenges of hydraulic fracturing operations is the determination of the fluid-driven vertical fracture extent. Fracture breakout into overlaying or underlying formations with water-bearing zones can lead to irreparable water damage to… read more here.

Abstract: Purpose Optimized three-dimensional (3D) fracture networks are crucial for multistage hydrofracturing. To better understand the mechanisms controlling potential disasters as well as to predict them in 3D multistage hydrofracturing, some governing factors, such as fluid… read more here.
