Stimulation Leakoff
Carters solution for estimating fracture area accounting for fluid
leakoff.
Where Afl= fracture area exposed to fluid loss = 2h fxf(one wing)
CL = fluid loss coefficient, ft/(min)1/2
Sp= spurt loss, gal/ft2
Volume of one wing of fracture is:

With a known fracture height, hf, and calculated fracture length,
then,
From material balance,
where average width is from the fracture geometry models and
is a function of fluid rheology, youngs modulus, injection rate,
fracture height and fracture length.
rp= fluid loss area to fracture area
KL= fluid loss multiplier

Stimulation Leakoff
For 3D fracture propagation models, laminar fluid flow of an incompressible
power law fluid is assumed.
Where qL = volume leakoff rate per unit fracture area
qinj = volume injection rate per unit fracture areaqi = volume flow rate in i direction per unit length in j direction
Time dependent fluid loss term,
Where x,y) is the time at which the position (x,y) was first exposed to the
fracturing fluid, and
Pressure difference is fracture pressure at injection planepore pressure
