... fracture dimensions, which depend on several parameters (e.g. rock properties, stresses, pumping rate, proppant loading), for which there exists a large uncertainty. Commercially available physics-based hydraulic fracture simulators model the growth of the hydraulic fractures, providing insights about...

... ABSTRACT During hydraulic fracturing operations, proppants were usually pumped in a small-diameter, medium-diameter, and large-diameter sequence. Thus, the hydraulic fracture was propped by different size and types of proppants. It is found that the slurry operation parameters such as fluid...

Hydraulic fracture vertical height and distance to the basal water layer were used as the primary indicators to optimize the frac-fluid volume...

... ABSTRACT Proppant conductivity was usually measured under static or designed proppant concentration. The ISO 13503-5 standard provides specific experimental procedures for measuring the long-term conductivities of proppants. However, it does not consider the proppant migration and placement...

... ABSTRACT This study presents a new data-driven approach to interpreting fracture evolutions by analyzing the dynamic matching between proppant injection and fracture propagation. Proppant settling in low-viscosity fluids accumulates at the bottom of the fracture, compresses the flowing channel...

... ABSTRACT Micro-proppants are instrumental in maintaining secondary fractures, which evolve around primary propped fractures in unconventional formations. Given their minute size, micro-proppants can infiltrate induced fractures, thereby augmenting production through the fracture network. Yet...

Variation of initial diameter due to noncentralized perforation gun positioning is shown to cause preferential slurry distribution to larger perforations, faster erosion, and further shift of distribution to the most eroded perforations.
