Explore a 22-minute conference talk from the 2014 AGU Fall Meeting that delves into the large-scale geologic controls on hydraulic stimulation. Gain insights into the evolution of hydraulic fracture simulation, from single planar fractures to fully three-dimensional models incorporating structural geologic data. Discover how advances in simulation capabilities enable better decision-making processes for stimulation in low permeability formations. Examine comparative simulations in varying structural environments, focusing on stress conditions and natural discontinuities. Learn about the use of distinct element software for modeling hydraulic fracturing and its potential impact on economic viability in different structural regimes.
