Hydraulic Fracture Mechanics

Informationen zum Autor Peter Valkó is the author of Hydraulic Fracture Mechanics, published by Wiley. Michael J. Economides is Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Houston, US. One of America's leading energy analysts, he has done technical and managerial work in over 70 countries. Klappentext 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. Zusammenfassung This is a self-contained exploration of the theoretical background of one of the most widespread activities in hydrocarbon wells! that of hydraulic fracturing.
