The propagation of non‐planar hydraulic fractures is modelled using a three‐dimensional numerical simulator. This paper describes the different components of the model (stress/displacement analysis, fluid‐flow analysis, propagation criterion) with an emphasis on the numerical techniques used. A few examples of out‐of‐plane fracture geometries are provided.
