Hydraulic Fracture Mechanics, Hardback Book

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.
