Real-Time Simulation of Hydraulic Fracturing Using a Combined Integrated Finite Difference and Discontinuous Displacement Method: Numerical Algorithm and Field Applications

Real-time simulation of hydraulic fracturing operations is of critical importance to the field-scale stimulation applications. In this paper, we present an efficient yet reasonably accurate program for the numerical modeling of dynamic fractures. Our program, named as FracCSM, is based on combined I...
