Using Lines-of-Solutions to Understand Fracture Conductivity and Fracture Cleanup

SPE Production and Operations Symposium, 2011
Abstract Evaluation of fracturing treatments in tight-gas sands is often frustrated by uniqueness problems when matching gas rates and bottomhole flowing pressure (BHFP) data alone. A fit-for-purpose simulator was used to match gas rates, BHFP, cumulative water, and composition of the water during cleanup after a fracturing treatment.The

Experimental Study on Fracture Conductivity in Hydraulic Fracturing

2019
Due to high strength, ceramic is used in deepand ultra-deep reservoir, and sand is used in shallow reservoir. However, sandis cheaper than ceramic. In the field, the mixture of these two proppants havebeen pumped to improve the economic production. At present, there is no one toevaluate the conductivity of proppants with mixture of sand and ceramic ...

Theoretical analysis of fracture conductivity created by the channel fracturing technique

Journal of Natural Gas Science and Engineering, 2016
Abstract The channel fracturing technique has been increasingly popular in recent years. It is of great significance in increasing fracture conductivity while reducing water and proppant consumption. Stable open channels are created inside the fractures by this technique, which allow hydrocarbons to flow through without too much resistance from ...

Changing the Shape of Fracturing: New Proppant Improves Fracture Conductivity

SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, 2010
Abstract Hydraulic fracturing is used extensively to increase hydrocarbon production from oil and gas formations. Hydraulic fracture conductivity is a key parameter in optimizing the productivity of a well after the fracture treatment. The American Petroleum Institute (API) proppant permeability / fracture conductivity testing results ...

Optimum Fracture Conductivity for Naturally Fractured Shale and Tight Reservoirs

SPE Production & Operations, 2015
Summary With the development of unconventional shale and tight reservoirs, stimulation treatments that place multiple transverse fractures have received greater attention in recent years. The post-fracture productivity of such low-permeability reservoirs is largely determined by the matrix/fracture contact area with appropriate fracture ...

A New Approach to Generating Fracture Conductivity

SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, 2010
Abstract The primary goal of a hydraulic fracturing treatment is to create a highly conductive flow path to the wellbore that economically increases well production. In moderate and high permeability wells the lack of adequate fracture conductivity is a limiting factor in the production potential of the well, whereas in tight gas ...

Criteria For Proppant Placement and Fracture Conductivity

Fall Meeting of the Society of Petroleum Engineers of AIME, 1975
American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical, and Petroleum Engineers, Inc. Abstract The design of a hydraulic fracturing treatment has to include the recipe of the treatment and an estimation of the expected productivity improvement.

Transmissivity and conductivity of single fractures

2015
A fracture can be seen as a void space between two rough surfaces in partial contact. Transmissivity and conductivity can be determined numerically by solving the Stokes and Laplace equations between these two surfaces. These problems were first solved and published by the same authors between 1995 and 2001.
