Eight empirical correlations, simple to use with a handheld calculator, were developed to help design frac pack. The correlations estimate fracture closure pressure, Young's modulus, leak-off ...
To fracture or not to fracture—that has been the question dogging valve-in-valve (ViV) TAVI. The answer, new data suggest, is that fracturing the preexisting bioprosthetic aortic valve may be the best ...
A proposed calculation of in situ closure stress allows engineers to select more appropriate proppant. For decades, the calculation for in situ closure stress on proppant has involved subtracting ...
