A review on proppant transport modelling [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Petroleum Science and Engineering, 2021
Abstract Proppant transport is a critical physical process in hydraulic fracturing which has been extensively used for reservoir stimulation in petroleum engineering. Proppants injected together with fracturing fluid provide structural support to the stimulated fracture network and prevent them from closing after flowback.

Numerical simulation of proppant transport in hydraulic fractures [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Petroleum Science and Engineering, 2018
A central issue in hydraulic fracturing treatment in petroleum wells is the transport of proppant particles by the injection fluid. In this paper, we present an innovative proppant transport model in a fixed rectangular- and elliptic-shaped slots. The proposed model is an improvement to the current modeling of proppant transport by applying a non ...

Proppant Transport in Complex Fracture Networks

open access: yesSPE Hydraulic Fracturing Technology Conference and Exhibition, 2018
Abstract During hydraulic fracturing, natural fractures and bedding planes can intersect with growing hydraulic fractures and form complex fracture networks. This can result in the flow of fluid and proppant in convoluted fracture pathways with highly variable fracture width and height.
