Contaminant mobilization impacts of hydraulic fracturing for groundwater remediation / by Andrew R. Piggott.: En13-5/96-66E-PDF
"Hydraulic fracturing has considerable potential when applied in conjunction with a variety of methods of groundwater remediation. However, the application of hydraulic fracturing in this context may result in detrimental mobilization of the target contaminants due to the fluid flow regime which is induced by processes that accompany fracture extension. A range of mathematical procedures for estimating the mobilization of aqueous and non-aqueous phase contaminants as the result of hydraulic fracturing are summarized, and issues associated these methods of analysis are identified. Selected results are presented for the PKN model of hydraulic fracture evolution subject to the limiting conditions of high and low fracturing fluid loss to the contaminated formation"--Abstract.
