A three-dimensional solution of hydraulic fracture width for wellbore strengthening applications

Abstract Determining the width of an induced hydraulic fracture is the first step for applying wellbore strengthening and hydraulic fracturing techniques. However, current 2-D analytical solutions obtained from the plane strain assumption may have large uncertainties when the fracture height is smal...
