Comparison of mechanical characteristics of different types of shales in the Ordos Basin
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023 Shale gas is a very important unconventional energy. The mechanical properties of the three types of shale (laminated shale, sandwich shale and foliated shale) are different, and the difference in fracturing effectiveness is very significant.

Table1_Experimental Study on Fracturing Fracture Deformation Mechanism of Shale Reservoir.XLSX
, 2022 After large-scale sand fracturing of horizontal wells in shale gas reservoir, fracturing fractures will deform in the production process. However, fracture deformation will lead to the decrease in fracture conductivity and then cause the decrease of gas ...

Studies of Fracture Damage Caused by Proppant Embedment Phenomenon in Shale Rock [PDF]
Applied Sciences, 2019 This paper concerns the effect of proppant embedment related with hydraulic fracturing treatment. This phenomenon occurs if the strength of the reservoir rock is lower than proppant grains. The aim of the research is laboratory determining the loss of width of the proppant pack built of light ceramic grains.

Proppant embedment in coal and shale: Impacts of stress hardening and sorption
International Journal of Coal Geology, 2020 Abstract During methane production in CBM reservoirs, the influence of proppant embedment and permeability damage cannot be neglected – especially where the wall-rock is soft. Effective stresses are elevated during methane recovery, increasing both normal loading stress and confinement and simultaneously overprinting sorption-induced volumetric ...

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Numerical simulation of hydraulic fracturing remains challenging due to the strong coupling between geomechanics and fluid flow when modelling multiple physical mechanisms of rock deformation, fracture evolution and fluid leak‐off. This study develops a coupled hydraulic fracture propagation framework that combines the extended finite element ...

Nordgren PINNs to VQE: Advancing Hydraulic Fracturing Simulations in Shale Reservoirs
International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study advances hydraulic fracturing simulations in shale reservoirs using two computational paradigms, Physics‐Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) and the Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE). PINNs were employed to solve Nordgren's equation, which governs fracture width evolution, by embedding physical laws into the neural network ...
