Gas Propagated Borehole Fracture Model And Simulation

Published by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory | Department of Energy | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2017-08-11T19:04:52Z
We developed a model for fracture production produced during detonation of an explosive mixture in a 10m packed off section of a shallow borehole. The model is based upon an actual field and lab experiments on low-damage borehole fracturing performed at Sandia National Labs by Mark Grubelich in 2014. The simulation was developed by O. Vorobiev at LLNL.
