Proppant embedment behavior and elastic–plastic embedding depth modeling of coal reservoirs under multi-stage loading

Meitan xuebao
To investigate the elasto-plastic embedment behavior of proppant during coalbed methane (CBM) production, a mechanical testing system equipped with a high-precision displacement sensor was used to design and conduct proppant-embedment tests under multi ...

Evolution of Friction and Permeability in a Propped Fracture under Shear

Geofluids, 2017
We explore the evolution of friction and permeability of a propped fracture under shear. We examine the effects of normal stress, proppant thickness, proppant size, and fracture wall texture on the frictional and transport response of proppant packs ...

Experimental Study on the Damage of Artificial Fracture Permeability in Coal during the Flow Back of Guar-Based Fracturing Fluid

Geofluids, 2020
After the completion of fracturing operation in coalbed methane (CBM), the fracturing fluid needs to flow back to the ground in time to reduce the damage to the coal reservoir.

Multi‐factor coupling effects in hydraulic fracturing of laminated shale: Experimental insights and physics‐informed neural network‐driven optimization

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study establishes a multi‐factor coupling framework for predicting breakdown pressure in laminated shale by integrating experimental hydraulic fracturing tests, physics‐informed neural networks (PINNs), and Sobol sensitivity analysis. It reveals how differential stress, the bedding dip angle, and the injection rate interact to influence fracture ...

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 ...

Modeling proppant transport and settling in a 3D propagating fracture

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
A versatile multiphysics tool is presented for simulating the complex processes involved in hydraulic fracturing treatments. The model couples fracture opening and propagation, variable‐density slurry flow, and proppant particle transport within the multiphysics object‐oriented simulation environment framework, based on two‐phase mixture equations and ...
