Transient Propagation of a Toughness-Dominated Plane-Strain Hydraulic Fracture in a Diffusive Porous Medium
Abstract We develop a transient framework for modeling toughness-dominated plane-strain hydraulic fracture propagation in permeable formations that incorporates fully two-dimensional (2D) pore pressure diffusion. The formulation employs an impulse response approach to evaluate the leak-off volume through a diffusion ke...
