The combination of acidizing and hydraulic fracturing, or proppant-acid fracturing, seems to be a very logical approach to achieve the maximum stimulated volume in tight gas reservoirs, since the acid solution can stimulate the deep microfracture network

Unconventional tight/shale gas reservoirs have gained significant attention in the energy sector. The importance of temperature and pressure in shale imbibition lies in their profound influence on the kinetics, rate, and ultimate amount of water uptake, which directly impacts the efficiency of gas production.

Abstract Gas‐water flow in propped fractures can be commonly observed in various practical applications, including hydrocarbon development, geothermal exploitation, contaminant transport, and geological carbon storage. The fluid flow in a propped fracture can be regarded as Darcy type if only the resistance from the propping materials (e.g., cement in ...

Theoretical conductivity analysis of surface modification agent treated proppant
Proppant embedment plays a significant role in conductivity decreasing, especially for weakly consolidated sandstones, shale and coal beds. Surface modification agent (SMA) is widely used in decreasing proppant embedment and proppant crush, increasing ...
