Critical Fluid Injection Volumes for Uncontrolled Fracture Ascent

Abstract Hydrofracturing is a routine industrial technique whose safety depends on fractures remaining confined within the target rock volume. Both observations and theoretical models show that, if the fluid volume is larger than a critical value, pockets of fluid can propagate large distances in th...
