Shearing and opening of a pre-existing discontinuity in response to fluid injection

Ankit Gupta, Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Alexis Alejandro Sáez Uribe, Ankit Gupta

We investigate the fluid-driven growth of a shear crack along a frictional discontinuity and its transition to hydraulic fracturing (sometimes referred to as hydraulic jacking) under plane-strain conditions. We focus on the case of a constant friction coef ...

A plane‐strain hydraulic fracture driven by a shear‐thinning Carreau fluid

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion

We study the propagation of a plane‐strain hydraulic fracture driven by a shear thinning fluid following a Carreau rheology. We restrict to the impermeable medium case and quantify in details the impact on fracture growth of the shear‐thinning properties o ...

Elongated hydraulic fracture emerging from layers of alternating fracture toughness

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Carlo Peruzzo

Whether used to enhance the hydrocarbon production from low permeability rocks or to measure the minimum in-situ principal stress in rock formations, height growth of a hydraulic fracture above the formation of interest is a key metric for the design of su ...

How Stress Barriers and Fracture Toughness Heterogeneities Arrest Buoyant Hydraulic Fractures

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Carlo Peruzzo, Andreas Möri

In our study, we investigated the impact of changes in Mode I fracture toughness and stress barriers on fully developed planar, buoyant hydraulic fractures assuming linear elastic hydraulic fracture mechanics. We present scaling-based arguments to predict ...

Experimental Investigation of Hydraulic Fracture Closure in a Porous Sandstone

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Seyyedmaalek Momeni, Guanyi Lu, Mohsen Talebkeikhah

Depending on the type of fracture propagation regime when the injection stops, the closure of the fracture may occur exactly after the injection ceases, in the case where the fracturing process is dominated by fracture energy, or the fracture propagate for ...

Robustness to formation geological heterogeneities of the limited entry technique for multi-stage fracturing of horizontal wells

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion

Robustness to formation geological heterogeneities of the limited entry technique for multi-stage fracturing of horizontal wells is investigated. It is necessary to simulate the complete process of initiation and propagation of multiple hydraulic fractures ...

Numerical methods for hydraulic fracture propagation: a review of recent trends

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion

Development of numerical methods for hydraulic fracture simulation has accelerated in the past two decades. Recent advances in hydraulic fracture modeling and simulation are driven by increased industry and research activity in oil and gas, a drive toward ...

A fully-coupled highly-parallelized geomechanical simulator for assessing induced seismicity

Jean-François Molinari, Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Guillaume Anciaux, Nicolas Richart, Emil Gallyamov

Induced seismicity caused by anthropogenic modification of the subsurface effective stress state has been observed in a number of industrial applications -- from hydrocarbon extraction (e.g., Groningen [1]), drilling waste-water disposal (e.g., [2]) to the ...

Fluid-driven slow slip and earthquake nucleation on a slip-weakening circular fault

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Alexis Alejandro Sáez Uribe

We investigate the propagation of fluid-driven fault slip on a slip-weakening frictional interface separating two identical half-spaces of a three-dimensional elastic solid. Our focus is on axisymmetric circular shear ruptures as they capture the most esse ...

Slickwater hydraulic fracture propagation: near-tip and radial geometry solutions

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Haseeb Zia

We quantify the importance of turbulent flow on the propagation of hydraulic fractures (HF) accounting for the addition of friction reducing agents to the fracturing fluid (slickwater fluid). The addition in small quantities of a high molecular weight poly ...

Experimental investigation of hydraulic fracture growth in an anisotropic rock with pre-existing discontinuities under different propagation regimes

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Seyyedmaalek Momeni, Guanyi Lu

Laboratory experiments have been carried out to investigate the growth of hydraulic fracture (HF) in an anisotropic rock with pre-existing discontinuities such as bedding planes and veins. The experiments are designed in light of scaling relationships that ...

Automatic and high-precision acoustic emission-based structural health monitoring of concrete structures

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Seyyedmaalek Momeni

Acoustic emission (AE) monitoring is a useful technique to monitor the health of a structure continuously, helping to prevent potential failure. AE are elastic waves produced and emitted during fracture processes inside a material and are recorded by senso ...

Morphology of buoyancy-driven multiple hydraulic fractures

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Andreas Möri

We investigate the problem of simultaneous propagation of multiple hydraulic fractures in situations when the effect of buoyancy is important. While such fractures often occur in nature as magmatic dikes, they also bear technological relevance. For instanc ...

Maximum size and magnitude of injection-induced slow slip events

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Alexis Alejandro Sáez Uribe

Fluid injections can induce aseismic slip, resulting in stress changes that may propagate faster than pore pressure diffusion, potentially triggering seismicity at substantial distances from injection wells. Constraining the maximum extent of these aseismi ...

Modeling of Simultaneous Propagation of Multiple Blade‑Like Hydraulic Fractures from a Horizontal Well

How contained hydraulic fractures emerge from layers of alternating fracture toughness

Hydraulic fractures are used to enhance the hydrocarbon production from low permeability rocks and to measure the minimum in-situ principal stress in rock formations. In these cases, the fracture growth above (or below) the formation of interest is a key m ...
