Description
This book examines the underlying mechanics of creating a fracture from vertical or deviated wellbores and the propagation of a hydraulic
fracture in the reservoir.
This book is intended as a reference book for research engineers and advanced graduate students in petroleum
or mechanical engineering. For more than forty years, hydraulic fracturing has been employed to enhance the production of oil and gas
from underground reservoirs.
