Evolving Completion Technologies Mitigate Proppant Flowback

SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, 2017
Abstract The concept of "cutting costs at any cost" leads to poor short-term focused decisions which can result in higher total costs in the future. In many instances, any dollars saved in the initial completion are more than offset by costs incurred later in the life of the well.

Experimental Investigation on the Factors Affecting Proppant Flowback Performance

Journal of Energy Resources Technology, Transactions of the ASME, 2020
Abstract Proppant flowback is a significant issue in the field of fractured well production. In order to investigate the influencing relationships among the parameters affecting proppant flowback, the weight of proppant flowback within different conditions was tested by applying a fracture simulation experiment device.

A proppant mechanical model in postfrac flowback treatment

Journal of Natural Gas Science and Engineering, 2014
Abstract It is well known that proppant back flow is a key evaluation criterion in postfrac flowback treatments. Based on the analysis of the physical processes of proppant flowback, a proppant mechanical model is established, the model considers different stress situations before and after fracture closure.

Mechanisms of Proppant Pack Instability and Flowback During the Entire Production Process of Deep Coalbed Methane

Processes
Deep coalbed methane (DCBM) reservoirs often experience severe proppant flowback during large-scale hydraulic fracturing, which undermines fracture conductivity and limits long-term recovery.

Proppant Flowback Control with High-Aspect Ratio Proppant and Advanced Modeling

SPE International Hydraulic Fracturing Technology Conference and Exhibition, 2023
Abstract Hydraulic fracturing is a common method of production enhancement for low- and mid-permeability reserves. Deep, hot gas reservoirs are usually fractured using ceramic proppant that is prone to flowback during fracture cleanup and production phases.

The Conductivity of Proppant and Impacts of Proppant Flowback on Fracture Conductivity in Different Conditions

56th U.S. Rock Mechanics/Geomechanics Symposium, 2022
ABSTRACT: Hydraulic fracturing can increase the fracture conductivity by providing high-conductivity channels for hydrocarbon flow. Proppants flow back from the propped fracture during the early stage of production in the hydraulically fractured tight reservoirs, during which the fracture conductivity decreased due ...

Understanding Proppant Flowback

SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, 1999
Abstract Proppant production from hydraulically fractured wells can cause severe operational problems, increase safety concerns, and dramatically reduce economic returns on well-stimulation investments. Methods that have helped eliminate or minimize proppant flowback include modified completion designs, the use of controlled fracture ...

Proppant Flowback Control

SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, 1989
ABSTRACT A process for controlling proppant flowback after hydraulic fracturing operations has been developed and extensively field tested. In the procedure, fracture sand is coated with epoxy resin during the fracturing treatment. Unique wetting aids permit the rapid and complete epoxy resin coating of the sand while it is in the ...

Evaluating Flowback Proppants for Proppant Diagenesis in Shale

SPE European Formation Damage Conference & Exhibition, 2013
Abstract The concept of proppant diagenesis has been discussed for several years. Detailed studies and analysis have been conducted to better understand hydrothermal degradation of alumina-based proppant, which has sometimes led to a significant loss of fracture conductivity.

On-the-Fly Proppant Flowback Control Additive

SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, 2020
Abstract This paper covers the research, development, and field application of a cost-effective, on-the-fly chemical additive that reduces proppant flowback during well production. Laboratory tests and field results, showing the effect this chemical additive has on proppant flowback, are examined.
