Pressure Analysis Of A Well With An Inclined Asymmetric Hydraulic Fracture

Abstract Hydraulic fracturing is an effective well stimulation technique which is introduced in the 1950s and widely used in the oil and gas industry. Most of the works about hydraulic fracture assumed that the fracture is symmetric and either vertical or horizontal. But, several field and laboratory observations show very complex fractures, inclined, multi-segmented, asymmetric, and the presence of multiple fractures. The purpose of this study is to investigate the pressure behavior of a uniform flux hydraulic fracture which is both inclined and asymmetric. This objective is achieved by usin…
