Finite element analysis of fluid induced fracture behaviour in oilsand

In-situ recovery of oil from Oilsand deposits at depth, rely on fluid induced fracturing of Oilsand. A method of analysis for predicting the initiation and propagation of fractures in Oilsand has been developed. The prediction of fracture initiation involves a stress analysis of the domain. Analysis...
