Experimental Study on Fracturing Fracture Deformation Mechanism of Shale Reservoir

Frontiers in Energy Research, 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 ...

Estudio de la perdida de conductividad debida a empotramiento de propante en formaciones de shale mediante simulación numérica

Revista Fuentes El Reventón Energético, 2016
Proppant embedment is inherent in reservoir fracking stimulation, this phenomenon occurs when the in-situ stresses are applied to the proppants surface causing their incrustation into the formation.

A 3D Semianalytical Model for Simulating the Proppant Stresses and Embedment in Fractured Reservoir Rocks

, 2022
Hydraulic fracturing uses substantial amounts of proppants to keep the fracture open. The arrangement of proppants inside the fracture depends on several parameters that are included in the pad stage, slurry stage, and rock properties.

Numerical Modeling of the Conductivity of the Particle Monolayer with Reduced Size

Geofluids, 2018
Fractures filled with a proppant monolayer play an important role in the hydraulic fracture network. Predicting the conductivity of these fractures is the basis of fracture network optimization. However, little attention has been paid to the conductivity

Investigation on Nonlinear Behaviors of Seepage in Deep Shale Gas Reservoir with Viscoelasticity

Energies, 2023
The nonlinear behaviors in deep shale gas seepage are investigated, involving the non-Darcy effect, desorption, and viscoelasticity. The seepage model accounts for the nonlinear compressibility factor and gas viscosity due to their stronger non-linearity

Experimental and numerical investigation of proppant embedment and conductivity reduction within a fracture in the Caney Shale, Southern Oklahoma, USA [PDF]

, 2023
The current worldwide energy supply is insufficient to meet the rising demand. As a result, the energy prices are expected to keep soaring despite the recent increases in a variety of renewable energy resources. Although not renewable, shale oil and gas —

A New Modeling Framework for Multi-Scale Simulation of Hydraulic Fracturing and Production from Unconventional Reservoirs

Energies, 2021
This paper describes a new modeling framework for microscopic to reservoir-scale simulations of hydraulic fracturing and production. The approach builds upon a fusion of two existing high-performance simulators for reservoir-scale behavior: the GEOS code

Laboratory simulation of proppant embedment into a tight gas formation [PDF]

, 2020
This paper presents the issue of damage to the fracture wall surface, after hydraulic fracturing of the hydrocarbons reservoir. It is caused by proppant embedment into the fracture wall and the impression of rock material from the fracture wall surface ...
