Continuum Damage Modeling of Hydraulic Fracture from Perforations in Horizontal Wells
The perforations play an important role in determining the near-wellbore fracture geometry during the stimulation phase. To address the impact of perforations on fracture geometry in horizontal wells, a 3D coupled hydromechanical finite element model is developed and employed. Based on the theory of...
