This study is aimed at application of the method of complex singular integral equation (SIE) to the problem of crack propagation in non-uniform stress field. The paper examines one actual problem of oil and gas production: modeling of the hydrofracture trajectories in a reservoir subjected to non-uniform distributions of pore pressure. A modification of the method of mechanical quadratures is used...
