... Abstract Domestic gas shale production is made economic through new completion practices which include horizontal wells and multiple hydraulic fractures. The performance of these fractures is improved through the injection of proppant. Success has largely been based on empiricism through field...

... on this mathematical model, a semi-analytical simulator was developed for design and planning of hydraulic fracturing stimulation jobs. It is capable of predicting the growth of HFN (height, length, width) predicting proppant placement (all directions or dominant fracture only) and fracture conductivity...

... Abstract Sand-producing reservoirs sometimes contain particles that are small enough to pass through the regular sand control media such as proppant and screens. The tiny particles, referred to as fines, are produced into the near-wellbore region where they can cause plugging of proppant packs...

... Abstract The proppant grain, once coated with a surface modification material, interacts instantaneously with the surrounding particulate because of an increase in surface friction. Experiments show that when such materials are coated with proppants, the settling time of proppants from aqueous...
