Numerical simulation for the determination of hydraulic fracture initiation and breakdown pressure using distinct element method
Hydraulic fracturing technique has been widely used in many cases to enhance well production performance. In particular, this technology is proven to be the most viable technique for the oil and gas production from unconventional reservoirs. Accurate prediction of fracture initiation and breakdown p...
