Many good engineers have turned their back on modeling efforts to find better strategies to stimulate a specific target zone, and have reverted back to the safe-haven of the cookie-cutter design that worked just fine in many instances.The first problem of fracture models is that the inputs for the model are typically not very well defined. The most critical input parameters for fracture models are generally the Young's modulus of the rock, the permeability and the fracture closure stress, all to be determined along the depth interval of interest.All of these parameters greatly affect fracture height growth, but we typically do not measure these critical parameters.
