The combination of acidizing and hydraulic fracturing for the stimulation of a tight gas reservoir in Minas Gerais

open access: yesREM: International Engineering Journal
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

NMR‐Based Quantitative Characterization of Water Imbibition in Deep Shale Rocks Under Different Pressures and Temperatures

open access: yesGeofluids, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
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.

Discrete-Element-Method/Computational-Fluid-Dynamics Coupling Simulation of Proppant Embedment and Fracture Conductivity After Hydraulic Fracturing

open access: yes, 2017
Summary In this paper, an integrated discrete-element-method (DEM)/computational-fluid-dynamics (CFD) numerical-modeling work flow is developed to model proppant embedment and fracture conductivity after hydraulic fracturing. Proppant with

An Analytical Formulation for Correcting the Relative Permeability of Gas‐Water Flow in Propped Fractures Considering the Effect of Brinkman Flow

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 60, Issue 11, November 2024.
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

open access: yes, 2014
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 ...

Proppant-Conductivity Testing Under Simulated Reservoir Conditions: Impact of Crushing, Embedment, and Diagenesis on Long-Term Production in Shales

open access: yes, 2018
Summary Hydraulic fractures act as conduits connecting a wellbore to nanodarcy-permeability unconventional reservoirs. Proppants are responsible for enhancing the fracture conductivity, and they help in maintaining high production rates ...
