Numerical Investigation of the Effect of Partially Propped Fracture Closure on Gas Production in Fractured Shale Reservoirs

open access: yesEnergies, 2020
Nonuniform proppant distribution is fairly common in hydraulic fractures, and different closure behaviors of the propped and unpropped fractures have been observed in lots of physical experiments.

Determination of Hydraulic Properties of a Large Self-Propped Hydraulic Fracture in the Geothermal Research Borehole Horstberg Z1 in the Northwest German Basin [PDF]

open access: yesGeofluids, 2019
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

open access: yesGeofluids, 2017
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 ...

Microstructural evolution and hydraulic response of shale self-propped fracture using X-ray computed tomography and digital volume correlation

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mining Science and Technology
Methane in-situ explosive fracturing technology produces shale debris particles within fracture channels, enabling a self-propping effect that enhances the fracture network conductivity and long-term stability.

Impact of salinity of fracturing fluid on the migration of coal fines in propped fractures and cleats

open access: yesMeitan xuebao, 2023
During the hydraulic fracturing of coalbed methane (CBM) well, the deposition of coal fines in propped fractures and the migration of coal fines in cleats will damage the permeabilities of propped fractures and cleats, consequently affecting the ...

Review of fundamental studies of CO2 fracturing: Fracture propagation, propping and permeating [PDF]

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

Investigating the Impacts of Nonuniform Proppant Distribution and Fracture Closure on Well Performance in Shale Gas Reservoirs

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2022
The nonuniform distribution of proppant in hydraulic fractures is an essential factor determining the accuracy of well performance evaluation in shale gas reservoirs. In particular, unpropped and propped parts hold distinct closure behavior. To study the
