This book unites the gap between the theory and practice of what is arguably the most common stimulation/well completion technique in petroleum production -- fracturing. Even more important, the book takes a central position in what is the most critical link in the sequence of events in this type of well stimulation, the sizing and the design of hydraulic fracture treatments.
