Description for Hydraulic Fracture Mechanics
Hardcover. This is a self-contained exploration of the theoretical background of one of the most widespread activities in hydrocarbon wells, that of hydraulic fracturing. The authors provide readers with comprehensive treatment of the basic phenomena, including: linear elasticity, stresses, fracture geometry and rheology. Num Pages: 318 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: TGMD5; TGMF2. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 254 x 178 x 23. Weight in Grams: 726.
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.
