An experimental study to investigate hydraulic fracture reorientation with respect to the principal stresses
This study 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 horizontal and minimum horizontal to a cube of tight sandstone 100mm in size. A large stress anisotropy was ap...
