    • ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]Hydraulic fracturing has been an effective technique to stimulate damaged wells or wells producing from low-permeability formation. It has been established that the orientation of a hydraulic fracture is perpendicular to the direction of the least principal stress in the formation. Thus, most pressure transient analysis techniques are based on the assumption that the fracture is vertical. However, it is now generally agreed that the direction of the least principal stress is not always parallel or perpendicular to the plane of the formation. For this reason it is very likely that some hydrauli ... Continue Reading

         

      CHAPTER ONE - [ Total Page(s): 2 ]CHAPTER 1INTRODUCTION1.1        IntroductionHydraulic fracturing is an important well stimulation technique that has been widely used in the oil and gas industry. The technique involves creation of fractures or fracture system in porous medium to overcome wellbore damage, to improve oil and gas productivity in low permeability reservoirs or to increase production in secondary recovery operations. Most of the pressure transient analysis techniques used to analyze pressure responses of fractured wells are based on the assumption that the fracture is either vertical or horizontal. However, ...
