Brief

The case study is based on Weng [1] paper published in 1992.

Paper Summary

Pseudo 3D (P3D) hydraulic fracturing models often overpredict fracture height for a poorly contained fracture. This is caused partly by either the neglect of the fluid flow component in the vertical direction or a crude treatment of the 2D fluid flow in the fracture as 1D flow in the vertical direction in the fracture-height calculation. This paper presents a height-growth model that adopts a flow field more representative of the actual 2D flow in a fracture.

Inputs

Simulators

  • Terra Tek 3D - fully 3D model
  • U. of Texas 3D - fully 3D model
  • Original P3D - a commercial P3D simulator
  • Modified P3D - a commercial P3D simulator modified by replacing its original height-growth model with Weng 2D flow-height model
