Numerical Modeling of Proppant Transport in Complex Hydraulic Fracture Propagation
, 2017 Hydraulic fracturing is a stimulation technique used in unconventional reservoirs to generate sufficient reservoir contact for viable production. During stimulation, proppant is pumped into the system to keep fractures open when, at a later stage ...

Proppant transport in complex fracture networks [PDF]
, 2017 Current hydraulic fracturing practice in unconventional resource development typically involves multiple fracturing stages, each consisting of the simultaneous creation of several fractures from a horizontal well. A large mass of proppant, often millions

The key parameters of proppant transport in complex fractures [PDF]
Chinese Science Bulletin, 2017 The proppant transport in complex fracture has been a hot area of research. Via optimizing the pumping parameters, like pump rate and proppant type, the proppant packing efficiency will be improved in the branch fractures, by which the stimulation results will be enhanced.

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract The migration‐clogging‐sealing process of microparticle suspensions in constricted channels is highly relevant to geotechnical, hydraulic, and environmental engineering. In this study, a coupled lattice Boltzmann‐discrete element method is employed, incorporating dense‐particle corrections into the classical partially saturated method and ...

Impact of Inter‐Well Stress Interference on Multifracture Propagation in Tight Reservoirs
Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 1, Page 347-363, January 2026.This study presents a integrated computational‐experimental framework for modeling complex fracture propagation. Using a novel cell‐based fracture element approach with defined geometric and mechanical parameters, we simulate crack paths under varying stress conditions (e.g., SH‐Sh = 130 psi).
