Simulation of Hydraulical Fracture Height by Creating Artificial Barrier
It is quite difficult for reservoir exploitation with worse barrier zone, especially in thin pay-zone, limiting hydraulic fracture height propagation. This paper described the theory of controlling the fracture height by creating artificial barrier, and net pressure distribution in the crack was determined by assuming the artificial barrier is with stress gradient. Then, stress intensity factors in the crack tip were gotten on the basis of fracture mechanics theory, and fracture propagation model was established in accordance with fracture criteria of tensile open crack. The established model also described the action of treatment pressure on the fracture height and influence of artificial barrier on the fracture height propagation. By contrasting the results, it is feasible for artificial barrier to limit the fracture height propagation, and this model also can be used in hydraulic fracturing design in the oilfield.
