Abstract
Hydraulic fracturing is a simple and rapid method for measuring in-situ stresses compared to other existing methods. This method is used to determine the magnitude and direction of maximum and minimum horizontal stresses in deep wells or in shallow wells that are usually not possible with other methods. The subject of this paper is to investigate the effect of packer spacing on fracture pressure in hydraulic fracturing. In this regard, a laboratory physical model was designed and constructed and a large number of experiments were conducted. The results showed that by increasing the ratio of the length of the pressurized interval to the diameter of the well to about 7, the fracture pressure decreases and from this value onwards, it tends to a constant value.
