Simulation of Hydraulic Fractures and their Interactions with Natural Fractures

Modeling the stimulated reservoir volume during hydraulic fracturing is important to geothermal and petroleum reservoir stimulation. The interaction between a hydraulic fracture and pre-existing natural fractures exerts significant control on stimulated volume and fracture network complexity. This t...
