An experimental study to investigate hydraulic fracture reorientation with respect to principal stresses
In this study we investigated the propagation of an induced hydraulic fracture experimentally. A true triaxial stress cell (TTSC) was used to apply three independent stresses of vertical, maximum and minimum horizontal to a cube of tight sandstone 100mm in size. A large stress anisotropy was applied...
