Description
Summary:Hydraulic fracturing is a well stimulation tcchnique to improve hydrocarbon rcoovGry. Despite the rcsearch done in tire past scveral decdes, numerical simulatio of dynamio fracturc propagetion remains a challenging topic in the oil and gas indusay. This project investigatcd the fracture propagation in a cold water injction scc,oario boscd m sevcral models in hydraulic fracturing. Moreover, Oris project intends to quantifr thc stability of fracture and the leakoffrate at the fracture surfaces. Otrer ftan ttat, cmputational tml is developed to simulate the fracture propagation and projeot in a Graphical Uscr Intsrfroe.
