Wellbore Fracture Mode and Fracture Pressure Drilled in Depleted Reservoir by Kai Zhao, Junliang Yuan, Ming Liu, Chuanliang Yan, Liangbin Dou, Gang Bi, Runsen Li, Wei Gao

“…In this paper, the analysis focuses on the fracture mode and fracture pressure in depleted reservoir, and case studies show that three fracture modes may first occur, and the fracture mode will be changed with reservoir depletion which highly depends on reservoir depletion degree, well azimuth and deviation angle, and the in situ stress state; different failure criteria at different stages of reservoir depletion should be selected to accurately evaluate the fracture pressure. …”
