Enriched Galerkin methods for two-phase flow in porous media with capillary pressure

, 2017
In this paper, we propose an enriched Galerkin (EG) approximation for a two-phase pressure saturation system with capillary pressure in heterogeneous porous media.

Numerical Study of Proppant Transport with Supercritical CO₂ in Fracture

Shiyou jixie, 2018
Supercritical CO2 (SC-CO2) fracturing is one of the new waterless fracturing technologies, which has been drawn much attention because of its environmental friendly and highly efficient advantages. However, the capacity and behavior of proppant transport

Sand-carrying thresholds of viscous slickwater: Weissenberg number–based prediction and field application

Natural Gas Industry B
The complex viscoelastic and shear-thinning behavior of slickwater fracturing fluids imposes competing effects on proppant transport, complicating the prediction of sand-carrying capacity and increasing the sand plugging risk.

A comprehensive review on proppant technologies

Petroleum, 2016
The main function of traditional proppants is to provide and maintain conductive fractures during well production where proppants should meet closure stress requirement and show resistance to diagenesis under downhole conditions. Many different proppants
