Frequency Induced Hydraulic Fracturing

Abstract

Gas, oil and ground water well stimulation, by dynamic hydraulic rock fracturing, is considered. Well borehole lateral drilling procedures and porous rock fracturing, by the application of hydraulic pressure, chemical and sand proppants, is addressed. Frequency response, hydraulic pressure modelling methods and the achievement of resonance improving recovery and extending well operational duration, yiel and economic viability, are investigated. The determination of the aqueous well bore, hydraulic forcing frequencies, for specific borehole topologies are examined enabling the identification of the predicted amplitude, of dynamic magnification.
