... extraction from an EGS. Several numerical approaches have been developed to simulate the formation of complex fracture networks in naturally fractured formations. Lecampion et al. (2018) presented an overview of recent hydraulic fracture propagation models. Numerical methods for modeling fracture...

...Shuang Zheng; Ripudaman Manchanda; Deepen Gala; Mukul Sharma Summary Mitigating the negative impact of fracture hits on production from parent and child wells is challenging. This work shows the impact of parent‐well depletion and repressurization on child‐well fracture propagation and parent‐well...

...Yongcun Feng; John F. Jones; K. E. Gray Summary Fracture-initiation pressure (FIP) and fracture-propagation pressure (FPP) are both important considerations for preventing and mitigating lost circulation. For significant fluid loss to occur, a fracture must initiate on an intact wellbore or reopen...

... prematurely just to confirm the casing-shoe strength. This paper addresses drilling-engineering concerns regarding lost circulation during a casing-shoe test, the extent of fracture propagation, the amount of data obtainable as a function of the drilling-fluid volume injected, and the casing-shoe integrity...
