Hydraulic Fracture Mechanics

AUTHOR Economides, Michael J.; Valk¿, Peter; Economides et al.
PUBLISHER Wiley (01/09/1996)
PRODUCT TYPE Hardcover (Hardcover)

Description
The book explores the theoretical background of one of the most widespread activities in hydrocarbon wells, that of hydraulic fracturing. A comprehensive treatment of the basic phenomena includes: linear elasticity, stresses, fracture geometry and rheology. The diverse concepts of mechanics are integrated into a coherent description of hydraulic fracture propagation. The chapters in the book are cross-referenced throughout and the connections between the various phenomena are emphasized. The book offers readers a unique approach to the subject with the use of many numerical examples.
