Determination of Hydraulic Properties of a Large Self-Propped Hydraulic Fracture in the Geothermal Research Borehole Horstberg Z1 in the Northwest German Basin [PDF]
The pressure records of an interference test on a huge hydraulic fracture in a layered sedimentary rock formation of the Northwest German Basin were analysed in order to determine fracture transmissivity and fracture storage coefficient. The fracture had

Evolution of Friction and Permeability in a Propped Fracture under Shear
We explore the evolution of friction and permeability of a propped fracture under shear. We examine the effects of normal stress, proppant thickness, proppant size, and fracture wall texture on the frictional and transport response of proppant packs ...

Review of fundamental studies of CO2 fracturing: Fracture propagation, propping and permeating [PDF]
CO2 fracturing is one potential technique to relieve environmental issues related to the massive hydraulic fracturing of hydrocarbon reservoirs. We summarize fundamental studies on overall procedures of CO2 fracturing and analyze research progress related to fracturing, the propping of the induced fractures and permeating CO2 into, then recovering ...
