Laboratory demonstration of the impact of weak interfaces and layered rock properties on hydraulic fracture containment and height growth
Abstract Hydraulic fracturing and waterflooding are both widely applied methods for improving the recovery of oil and gas resources. These methods have increasing commonality because many waterfloods are being carried out at high enough pressure to generate hydraulic fractures. Even so, it is challe...
