The role of ductility in hydraulic fracturing: An experimental study

Copyright © 2018 ARMA, American Rock Mechanics Association. Previous studies show that the effective fracture toughness will increase with the rise of rock ductility during the hydraulic fracture propagation. Higher pump horsepower is required for fracture propagation and stimulation volume will dec...
