Abstract

Experimental demonstration of the effect of flaw shape and seepage of injection fluid into the matrix of the porous material in the breakdown pressure of Hydraulic Fracture in Gypsum, getting lower fracture pressure for geometries with sharpen notches than those with rounded tips, and also when allowing the penetration of fluid into the matrix (seepage effect)"
