Numerical Modeling for Hydraulic Fracture Prediction

Published by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory | Department of Energy | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2018-03-02T00:20:15Z
Numerical modeling on fused silica cylindrical materials for predicting overpressures required to fracture an homogeneous pure (surrogate) material with known mechanical properties similar to igneous rock materials and later compare these values to experimental overpressures obtained in actual fused silica samples at PNNL's lab-scale stimulation system.
