Numerical simulation of productivity evaluation for multi-cluster fracturing in horizontal wells considering non-uniform proppant placement within fractures [PDF]
Scientific ReportsNon-uniform proppant placement during horizontal well hydraulic fracturing significantly impairs fracture conductivity and well productivity. Most existing models oversimplify conductivity distribution and lack integration between proppant transport and ...

Review of fundamental studies of CO2 fracturing: Fracture propagation, propping and permeating [PDF]
Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering, 2021 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 ...
