Stability of Proppant Pack Reinforced with Fiber for Proppant Flowback Control
SPE Formation Damage Control Symposium, 1996Abstract A new method has been developed to prevent proppant flowback from a propped hydraulic fracture. The method consists of mixing the proppant with fiber elements before pumping the proppant into the fracture. The results of an experimental program, in which the goal was to better understand the mechanics of the reinforcing fiber on

Proppant Transport of Fracturing Gels is Influenced by Proppant Type
SPE Hydraulic Fracturing Technology Conference, 2009Abstract Fracturing gels are formulated to have a high viscosity sufficient to generate fracture geometry and transport proppant materials. Fracturing fluids are subjected to extensive QA/QC testing on high-temperature rheometers to ensure they have adequate viscosity to perform the intended task and break within a time frame suitable ...

Effect of Proppant Settling in the Wellbore on Proppant Distribution in Perforation Clusters
SPE Hydraulic Fracturing Technology Conference and Exhibition, 2023Abstract Our goal in this paper is to quantify the impact of proppant settling in the wellbore on the efficiency and distribution of proppant into perforation clusters. This phenomenon has been experimentally studied on the lab scale in the past but no field-scale simulations have been performed to quantify the amount of proppant settled

Abstract During fracture stimulation treatments, particle-laden slurries may damage pumping equipment and have been shown to erode perforation tunnels. During subsequent flowback operations, minor to severe erosion of surface equipment may be observed if formation sand and/or proppants are produced.

The Effect Of Various Proppants And Proppant Mixtures On Fracture Permeability
SPE Annual Fall Technical Conference and Exhibition, 1978Abstract One of the more important aspects of any fracturing treatment is the proppant that is used. In some instances, particularly in deep well applications, the type of proppant used can make a difference between the treatment being an economic success or failure.

Factors Affecting Proppant Flowback with Resin Coated Proppants
SPE European Formation Damage Conference, 1995ABSTRACT Resin coated proppants (RCP's) have been used to prevent proppant flowback for several years in the hydraulic fracturing of oil and gas wells. Proppant flowback problems, however, still exist with the commercially available RCP's and several operators report failures around the world under a variety of well conditions.

Modeling of hydraulic fracture closure on proppants with proppant settling
Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering, 2018Abstract The placement of proppants in a hydraulic fracture is governed by slurry flow, proppant transport and settlement. The proppant distribution can significantly affect the conductivity of the hydraulic fracture, and hence will impact the productivity of hydraulic fractured wells.

Abstract The horizontal well with multiple transverse fractures, has proven to be a successful approach for production of gas from shale. As many as 80 fractures and nearly 10 million gallons of fracture fluid have been employed in a single well.

Enhancing Proppant Flowback Control Through Surface Treatment of Proppant
International Petroleum Technology Conference, 2016Abstract Post stimulation proppant flow back has long been an issue of the hydraulic fracturing process. The most common means of remedying proppant flowback has been to treat proppants with a resin coating. However, the most daunting factor in using resin-coated proppants is the resulting high price, which can be in excess of four times
