Abstract: The quasi-static problem describes a nonlinear porous body with a non-penetrating Barenblatt’s crack driven by the fracturing fluid, and its propagation is under investigation. By this, a bulk modulus of the porous body depends linearly on the density, the fracture faces allow contact with cohesion, and leak-off of the fluid into reservoir is accounted by the model. The mathematical problem consists in finding time-continuous functions of a displacement and a mean fluid pressure in the fracture, which satisfy the coupled system of the variational inequality and the fluid mass balance, which is controlled by the volume of fracking fluid pumped into the fracture. Well-posedness of the governing relations is proved rigorously by applying the method of Lagrange multipliers and using optimality conditions for the constrained minimization problem.
