Coupled Hydraulic Fracture and Proppant Transport Simulation
Energies, 2020 This paper focuses on the study of proppant transport mechanisms in fractures during frac-packing operation. A multi-module, numerical proppant, reservoir and geomechanics simulator has been developed, which improves the current numerical modeling ...

Feasibility of Proppant Flowback Control by Use of Resin-coated Proppant [PDF]
Journal of Basic & Applied SciencesProppant flowback is a problem in Xinjiang oilfield. It decreases production rate of a fractured oil well, corrodes surface and downhole facilities and increases production costs. Curable resin-coated sand is a common technique to control proppant flowback.

Characterization of Proppant Flowback in Hydraulic Fracturing Rough Fractures
Energy Science & EngineeringIn the process of fracturing, proppant flowback is unavoidable, and excessive proppant flowback will cause sand plugging in the wellbore, change the morphology of proppant fractures, reduce the effective flow‐conducting capacity of fractures, weaken the ...

Proppant Shape Effect on Dynamic Conductivity of a Fracture Filled with Proppant
SPE Western Regional Meeting, 2018 Abstract Many studies showed that the particle shape has a significant effect on mechanical properties of sands. We are investigating the effect of proppant angularity on the dynamic conductivity of a fracture filled with proppant by simulating the irregularly shaped proppant. Our previous publication showed the important effect of grain

Influence of Proppant Size on the Proppant Embedment Depth
ACS Omega, 2022 Hydraulic fracturing is a well stimulation technique involving the fracturing of bedrock formations by a pressurized liquid, in which proppants are added to keep the fracture open after the fracturing operation. The scale discrepancy between the rock specimen and the proppant may bring deviations in the analysis of proppant embedment depth if the fluid-

Effect of proppant distribution in hydraulic fractures on coalbed methane extraction
Results in Engineering, 2023 Fracturing with proppants is often used to improve the permeability of coalbed methane (CBM) reservoir. The fracture is easy to close under the closure stress and the proppant distribution in fractures greatly influences the extraction efficiency of CBM.

Study on the Deformation and Stability of Proppant Column in High-Conductivity Channel Fracturing
Geofluids, 2022 The nonlinear constitutive model of the proppant column was established through laboratory experiments on the stability of the proppant column. Based on reservoir geomechanics and the finite element method, a fracture-proppant column interaction model ...
