The influence of fracturing fluid temperature and viscosity on the migration and distribution of proppants within a fracture

Journal of Petroleum Exploration and Production Technology
This work presents a numerical study incorporating the impact of temperature variations along the fracture on the viscosity of fracturing fluids and consequently on proppant distribution in hydraulic fracturing. Traditional models have not considered non-

Efficient placement technology of proppants based on structural stabilizers

Petroleum Exploration and Development
Fiber is highly escapable in conventional slickwater, making it difficult to form fiber-proppant agglomerate with proppant and exhibit limited effectiveness. To solve these problems, a novel structure stabilizer (SS) is developed.

The Calculation of Coal Rock Fracture Conductivity with Different Arrangements of Proppants

Geofluids, 2018
An accurate evaluation of coal rock fracture conductivity is an important prerequisite for predicting the productivity of CBM wells. Coal rock is soft and fragile, with low elastic modulus and high Poisson ratio.

Study on Proppant Transport and Placement in Shale Gas Main Fractures

Energies
In this paper, based on the background of a deep shale reservoir, a solid–liquid two-phase flow model suitable for proppant and fracturing fluid flow was established based on the Euler method, and a large-scale fracture model was established.

Permeability of large‐scale fractures with ununiform proppant distributions in coalbed methane development

Energy Science & Engineering
The coalbed methane (CBM) productivity is directly determined by the fracture permeability during hydraulic fracturing, which is regulated by the distribution of proppants.

Field Application of a New Proppant Detection Technology

, 2011
Traditional proppant placement evaluation in hydraulically induced fractures has utilized detection of radioactive tracers pumped down hole with the proppant. We are proposing new methods for proppant placement determination.
