... to be minute and that most of the changes occur on the fracture surface. To better characterize the impact of fracture roughness on fracture aperture growth, we take a coupled experimental-modeling approach. Two carbonate-rich Wolfcamp shale samples with calcite-filled fractures are cored. One sample is cut...

... source element according to the boundary element method. As the fiber is orthogonal to the fracture plane, this geometry is predominately sensitive to the time-evolution of fracture apertures close to the fracture-fiber intersection and offers limited sensitivity to the either the vertical or horizontal...

... by treating the mixture of fluid and proppant particles as slurry. Proppant settling velocities and thus proppant distribution is affected by fluid velocity, micro-proppant size, fluid rheology, fracture aperture, hydraulic and natural fracture interaction and near wellbore tortuosity. The results demonstrate...

Then based on the model, a high- precision engraving machine is used to process the fracture surface on two transparent plexiglas plate. After assembly, a transparent fractured module is built up, and the fracture aperture...

... in the main HF, the propped surface area is maximized. Proppant settling velocities and thus proppant distribution is affected by fluid velocity, micro-proppant size, fluid rheology, fracture aperture, hydraulic and natural fracture interaction and near wellbore tortuosity. Introduction In hydraulic...

Fracture aperture distribution in anisotropic rock is more uniform compared to isotropic case, where larger variation is observed from fracture center to the tips. Numerical analysis of a Woodford shale field-scale fracturing job is presented using anisotropic rock...

At the field scale, these geological elements are described using dual porosity/permeability continuum models (Bear, 1993). Fracture apertures and lengths...
