Abstract
We study the propagation of a fracture in an initially stressed anisotropic reservoir under shear. The focus is made on the deviation of the fracture from the principal direction due to the shearing conditions. An asymptotic model is developed, which yields the solution in terms of the effective K2c and the deviation angle. Then, we analyse formation of the fluid lag during propagation of a hydraulic fracture in the cases of plane and radial...
