Fracture Conductivity in Hydraulic Fracture Stimulation

Journal of Petroleum Technology, 1988
Introduction Hydraulic fracturing treatments are frequently required to ensure economic production rates from wells completed in low- to moderate-permeability formations. This type of stimulation treatment involves placing layers of proppant material in the created fracture (Fig. 1).

Sustaining Fracture Conductivity

SPE European Formation Damage Conference, 2005
Abstract The industry has developed standard methods to effectively evaluate the propping agents used in hydraulic fracturing operations. The understanding gained from the consistant application of the methods has greatly helped to optimize productivity.of hydraulicly fractured wells.

The Texture of Acidized Fracture Surfaces—Implications for Acid Fracture Conductivity

SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, 2006
Abstract In an acid fracturing treatment, fracture conductivity is created by differential etching of the fracture surface by the acid – without non-uniform dissolution along the fracture face, the fracture will close after pumping ceases, and little lasting conductivity is created.

Fracture behaviour of isotropically conductive adhesives

Proceedings of 3rd International Conference on Adhesive Joining and Coating Technology in Electronics Manufacturing 1998 (Cat. No.98EX180), 1999
The fracture behavior of several commercial, silver-filled epoxies was studied using a combination of fracture mechanics, surface science, and microscopy. Three-point bend tests revealed that the bulk fracture toughness of the silver-filled epoxies fell within a narrow range 1.1-1.3 MPa-m/sup 0.5/. Both electron and optical microscopy studies indicated

Effect of Fracture Conductivity on Effective Fracture Length

SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, 2003
Abstract Fracturing fluid that remains in the fracture and formation after a hydraulic fracture treatment can decrease the productivity of a gas well by reducing the relative permeability to gas in the region invaded by this fluid. This fluid can block the gas flow into the fracture, thus reducing the effective fracture length.

A New Approach for Enhancing Fracture Conductivity

SPE Asia Pacific Oil and Gas Conference and Exhibition, 1998
Abstract A new liquid surface-modification system has been developed for coating proppant, dramatically increasing its surface friction and allowing it to interact instantaneously with surrounding particulates.

Thermal Conductivity of a Single Fracture

Transport in Porous Media, 1997
The macroscopic conductivity of fractures is determined for Gaussian and self-affine fractures by solving the three-dimensional Laplace equation. Results are discussed and compared with various analytical or two-dimensional approximations. They are shown to be in good agreement with some existing experimental data.

Fracture Conductivity Impairment Removal

Proceedings of SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, 1989
Abstract Extensive and detailed research has been accomplished by previous investigators to characterize formation damage caused by various fracture fluid types. Using a simplified method developed specifically to study impairment removal, a body of comparative data was generated to show the tendency of dynamically-formed filter cakes to

Effect of Fracturing Fluids on Fracture Conductivity

Journal of Petroleum Technology, 1975
Several types of fracturing fluids were tested for potential adverse effects on fracture conductivity. A predictive method based on the volume of residue in a fluid after it degrades was developed that describes the local effect of fluid residue on fracture conductivity. Introduction Fracturing fluids

Effect Of Gelled Fracturing Fluids On The Conductivity Of Propped Fractures

Annual Technical Meeting, 1990
Abstract Successful stimulation of an oil or gas well by a hydraulic fracturing treatment is largely dependent on obtaining a propped fracture with adequate fracture conductivity. The fracture conductivity is influenced by the reservoir environment following a hydraulic fracturing treatment.
