摘要
This paper describes a 3D numerical model for the closure of a planar, nonpropped hydraulic fracture under uniform and layering reservoir conditions. The model simulates ''double-slope'' minifracture pressure-decline curves when the fracture height retracts from high-stress zones during closure. Application of the simulation results to minifracture analysis is discussed.
