Static and dynamic calculation of formation fluid displacement induced by hydraulic fracturing / by Andrew R. Piggott.: En13-5/95-25E-PDF

"Hydraulically fracturing a geologic formation results in the displacement of the fluids that are distributed within the formation in response to fracturing fluid loss and poroelasticity effects. This process will limit the application of hydraulic fracturing in conjunction with groundwater contamination remediation if the resulting fluid displacement translates to deleterious mobilization of the target contaminants. A dynamic solution for determining the fluid displacement accompanying hydraulic fracturing is developed and compared to a simpler, static solution. The static solution is shown to be adequate for characteristic formation and fracture treatment parameters"--Abstract, page 1.
