Quantifying ceramic proppant transport in complex fracture networks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Water fracs have become an essential part of unconventional reservoirs to create deeper fracture networks. Proppant transport in water fracs is challenging in terms of fluids ability to carry the proppant deeper into these fracture networks.

Effect of wettability of ceramic proppant surface in guar gum solution on the oil flow efficiency in fractures

open access: yesPetroleum, 2019
Guar gum and its derivatives have been the most commonly used polymers to increase the viscosity of fracture fluids. Ceramic proppants are vital products for enhancing oil and gas well productivity in low-permeability reservoirs.
