An Investigation into the Effects of Weak Interfaces on Fracture Height Containment in Hydraulic Fracturing
Hydraulic fracturing is an effective method for developing unconventional reservoirs. The fracture height is a critical geometric parameter for fracturing design but will be limited by a weak interface. Fracture containment occurs when fracture propagation terminates at layer interfaces that are wea...
