Revised to include current components considered for today's unconventional and multi-fracture grids, this edition explains one of the most important features for fracture design - the ability to predict the geometry and characteristics of the hydraulically induced fracture. Thi…
"From flammable tap water and sick livestock to the recent onset of hundreds of earthquakes in Oklahoma, the impact of fracking in the United States is far-reaching and deeply felt. In this volume, the author traces the history of fracking and the ways scientists and everyday pe…

"In the last few years, the fracking industry has boomed, leading many-including the President-to declare that soon America will be energy-independent, and free of the influence of foreign oil and gas suppliers such as Saudi Arabia and Russia. Not so fast, writes business journa…
Argues that obtaining energy through the hydraulic fracturing of shale rock is based on unstable economic foundations, and is having much more destructive effects on the economy and the government of the United States than its advocates claim.

Using an interdisciplinary approach, Design and Appraisal of Hydraulic Fractures offers a basic yet comprehensive introduction to the completion and reservoir engineering aspects of hydraulic fracture stimulation. The book is divided into three sections. Section 1 covers the des…
