Advances in Hydraulic Fracture Simulation - Dynamic and Quasi-static Analysis
(University of Waterloo, 2019-03-05)Hydraulic fracturing (HF) is an effective technique for permeability enhancement of conventional and unconventional reservoirs. HF is performed by injecting a fluid (usually water-based), sand, and chemicals into a formation ... -
Numerical Modeling of Nonlinear Problems in Hydraulic Fracturing: Fracture Propagation, Proppant Transport, and Shear Dilation
(University of Waterloo, 2020-05-05)Hydraulic fracturing is a stimulation technique in which fluid is injected at high pressure into low-permeability reservoirs to create a fracture network for enhanced production of oil and gas. It is the primary purpose ... -
Reservoir screening criteria for deep slurry injection
(University of Waterloo, 2005)Deep slurry injection is a process of solid waste disposal that involves grinding the solid waste to a relatively fine-grained consistency, mixing the ground waste with water and/or other liquids to form slurry, and disposing ...
