A fractal approach for surface roughness analysis of laboratory hydraulic fracture

, 2020
Hydraulic fracturing treatment in rocks creates surfaces that are not smooth but rough in general. Accurate characterization of surface roughness is necessary to relate fracture deformation to fluid flow.

Numerical simulation of hydraulic fracturing process in a naturally fractured reservoir based on a discrete fracture network model

Journal of Structural Geology, 2021
This research presents a simulation of hydraulic fracturing process in a naturally fractured reservoir based on a discrete fracture network (DFN) model coupling different kinds of pre-existing discontinuities.

Regulating Hydraulic Fracturing

2018
INTRODUCTION Significant interest prevails in virtually all continents to access the hydrocarbons in the deep shale basins and other unconventional resources such as coalbed methane (also known as coal seam gas), tight gas and basin-centred gas. Recent development of shale resources in North America has been extraordinary, but local factors including

Plugging mechanism of fibers and particulates in hydraulic fracture

Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering, 2019
Degradable fibers and particulates are the typical diverting agents which can temporarily plug the preexisting hydraulic fractures and redirect the treating fluid to the under-stimulated area.

Effect of Geological Layer Properties on Hydraulic-Fracture Initiation and Propagation: An Experimental Study

SPE Journal, 2019
Hydraulic-fracture initiation and propagation in the presence of multiple layers with different mechanical and flow properties are investigated experimentally using a novel fracturing cell.

The impact of the coal macrolithotype on reservoir productivity, hydraulic fracture initiation and propagation

Fuel, 2019
Macrolithotypes control the pore-fracture distribution heterogeneity in coal, which impacts stimulation via hydrofracturing and coalbed methane production in the reservoir.

Exploration of non-planar hydraulic fracture propagation behaviors influenced by pre-existing fractured and unfractured wells

Engineering Fracture Mechanics, 2019
Hydraulic fracturing plays significant role in enhancing production performance of low-porosity and low-permeability reservoirs because the created hydraulic fracture (HF) can improve the communication between formation and wellbore.

Temperature Analysis in Hydraulic Fracturing

Journal of Petroleum Technology, 1987
Summary. We present a thermal analysis of hydraulic fracturing based on variational methods. Our purpose is to provide a theoretical method for determining fracturing fluid temperature as a function of time and location during fracture growth.
