Experiment and Model of Conductivity Loss of Fracture Due to Fine-Grained Particle Migration and Proppant Embedment

Energies, 2022
In weakly cemented reservoirs or coal-bed methane reservoirs, the conductivity of hydraulic fractures always declines after a period of production, which greatly influences gas production.

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.

A Generic Fracture Conductivity Model for Partially Propped Fracture Networks with Proppant Embedment and Proppant Pack Deformation

Processes
Hydraulic fracturing involving proppant injection is currently the most effective technology to stimulate tight, unconventional reservoirs. The conductivity offered by the created propped and unpropped fracture segments is directly linked to the well deliverability.

Theoretical Analysis of Proppant Embedment and Fracture Conductivity in Fractured Reservoir [PDF]

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2021
Abstract Proppant embedment mainly accounts for diminishing fracture aperture and conductivity. The conductivity decrease could greatly restrict fluid flow, thereby affecting the well performance. In this paper, new mathematical models are derived to calculate the proppant embedment and fracture conductivity after hydraulic fracturing ...

Influence of proppant embedment on fracture conductivity

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2020
Abstract Using the national invention patent equipment, the proppant embedment experiment was carried out on the formation coal seam. The effects of proppant embedment on the conductivity of cracks under different proppant types, different proppant particle sizes, different sanding concentrations and different closing pressures were ...
