Aiming at the “three‐low” challenges (low permeability, low gas saturation, and low critical desorption‐to‐storage ratio [CDSR]) of Chinese coalbed methane (CBM) reservoir materials, this study adopted chlorine dioxide (ClO2) chemical modification on long‐flame, coking, and anthracite coal materials.

Based on the theory of porous media elasticity and the mechanisms of hydraulic‐mechanical coupling, a fully coupled mathematical model for porous media deformation and fluid flow was established, incorporating a square inverted nine‐spot well pattern with artificial fractures. The finite element method was employed for numerical solution, and the model′

Experimental study on the self-suspending proppant-laden flow in a single fracture
The flow of proppant-laden fluid (PLF) in the fracture is a typical problem of solid-liquid two phase flow, and the transportation and deposition of proppants are essential to determine the flow conductivity of hydraulic fracturing.

This study presents a leakage‐aware machine learning framework for predicting minimum horizontal stress (σhmin) using structured geomechanical and fracture‐related parameters. A dataset comprising 21,499 records from approximately 200 horizontal wells in the Marcellus Shale was preprocessed using a strictly leakage‐controlled pipeline, including ...

Improved Proppant Transport System for Slickwater Shale Fracturing
The primary purpose of stimulating shale reservoirs is to extend drainage radius by connecting natural fractures, thus maximizing Stimulated Reservoir Volume (SRV). A conventional proppant transport system relies on the viscosity of the fracture fluid to

Hydraulic fracturing is a conventional practice for production enhancement in low production and damaged wells. Proppant flowback has been a concern in hydraulic fracturing since proppant began to be used as fracture supporting material.

Water hydraulic fracturing involves pumping low viscosity fluid and proppant mixture into the artificial fracture under a high pumping rate. In that high Reynolds number conditions (HRNCs, Re > 2000), the turbulence effect is one of the key factors ...

Experimental Study of Proppant Pack Deformation [PDF]
Unconventional reservoirs, especially shales are drilled horizontally and hydraulically fractured for economical production. Proppant is carried and placed with the use of fracturing fluid to maintain fracture conductivity once the fracture is initiated.

Numerical Simulation of Proppant Transport in Hydraulic Fractures [PDF]
A central issue in hydraulic fracturing treatment in petroleum wells is the transport of proppant particles by the injection fluid. In this paper, we present an innovative proppant transport model in a fixed rectangular- and elliptic-shaped slots.
