Abstract Hydraulic fracture containment in layered reservoirs is simulated using a numerical model that couples fluid flow with a lattice representation of the solid with quasi-random distributed nodes connected by springs. We consider the influence of horizontal stress contrasts between layers, vertical stress, material fracture toughness, and the presence of horizontal weak interfaces. Observed results define distinct regions in a parametric space characterized by height growth, containment, and growth along the horizontal weak interface (T-shape growth). These numerical results match well to laboratory experimental benchmarks, and they extend the parametric study beyond what can be considered in the laboratory.
