Hydraulic Fracture Mechanics Hardback
by Peter (Texas A&M University, College Station, TX) Valk?, Michael J. (Texas A&M University, College Station, TX) Economides
Hardback
Description
The book explores the theoretical background of one of the most widespread activities in hydrocarbon wells, that of hydraulic fracturing.
A comprehensive treatment of the basic phenomena includes: linear elasticity, stresses, fracture geometry and rheology.
The diverse concepts of mechanics are integrated into a coherent description of hydraulic fracture propagation.
The chapters in the book are cross-referenced throughout and the connections between the various phenomena are emphasized.
The book offers readers a unique approach to the subject with the use of many numerical examples.
