Craster RV, Atkinson C, 1996, On finite-length cracks and inclusions in poroelasticity, Quarterly Journal of Mechanics and Applied Mathematics, Vol: 49, Pages: 310-332, ISSN: 0033-5614

A procedure is devised for the asymptotic solution of finite-length crack and inclusion problems under arbitrary time-dependent stress, pore pressure or pressure gradient loadings in porous elastic materials. The stress-intensity factors are identified explicitly as an expansion in real time for model problems involving uniformly loaded cracks. In the most general case this involves matched asymptotic expansions and rescalings that take advantage of the singular perturbation nature of the governing equations. The problems are written in terms of coupled Cauchy singular integral equations containing a small parameter; these can be combined to form a single subsidiary integral equation. This approach is used to split the problems into pieces driven by elastic, or pore-pressure, dominated solutions. Outer solutions that are driven by elastic solutions and eigensolutions are identified; these are matched to inner problems. The inner problems require the solution of a system of coupled integral equations; these are formulated in terms of functional equations. Fortunately the system uncouples and allows the inner solutions to be found explicitly. The pore-pressure driven pieces are deduced, to leading order, by a direct rescaling.

Thiercelin M, Atkinson C, 1996, Pressurization of a fractured wellbore, Pages: 1105-1112

This paper presents the use of two-dimensional models to analyze the behaviour of a pre-existing fracture intersecting a pressurized wellbore. The fracture has an arbitrary location and inclination with respect to the wellbore and the far-field state of stress and it is assumed that the wellbore fluid penetrates the fracture only in the section where the fracture is open. The analysis shows that the wellbore pressure and width responses, as a function of the length of the open section, are extremely sensitive to the location of the fracture with respect to the wellbore. In particular, situations exist where the near wellbore state of stress dominates the pressure response. This result has strong consequences for stress measurement and interpretation. This work has application not only to stress measurement, but also to wellbore stability and hydraulic fracturing.
