Propping Fractures with Aluminum Particles

Journal of Petroleum Technology, 1961
Abstract This paper presents information on the use of a new propping agent (malleable aluminum particles) which has been used successfully for producing high-conductivity fractures. The conductivity of a packed fracture depends oil the width of the fracture as well as the permeability of the ...

Prop Transport in Vertical Fractures

Proceedings of SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, 1981
ABSTRACT The subject of prop transport in vertical fractures has been much discussed in the literature in the past five years. Yet, there are many questions that remain unanswered. Probably the most difficult question to answer involves particle transport by cross-linked gels.

Propped Fracture Conductivity in Shales

Volume 6: Polar and Arctic Sciences and Technology; Offshore Geotechnics; Petroleum Technology Symposium, 2013
The successful development of the major shale gas plays in North America hinges upon the creation of complicated fracture networks by pumping low viscosity fracturing fluid with low proppant concentrations at high flow rate. Direct laboratory measurement of hydraulic fracture conductivity created in the networks is needed for reliable well performance ...

Permeability-Friction Relationships for Propped Fractures in Shale

56th U.S. Rock Mechanics/Geomechanics Symposium, 2022
ABSTRACT: We investigate controls on fluid transfer into massive hydraulic fractures due to reactivation of, and proppant penetration into, oblique fractures transecting the main fracture face during long-term reservoir depletion through tightly constrained laboratory experiments.

Effect Of Gelled Fracturing Fluids On The Conductivity Of Propped Fractures

Annual Technical Meeting, 1990
Abstract Successful stimulation of an oil or gas well by a hydraulic fracturing treatment is largely dependent on obtaining a propped fracture with adequate fracture conductivity. The fracture conductivity is influenced by the reservoir environment following a hydraulic fracturing treatment.

Realistic Fracture Conductivities of Propped Hydraulic Fractures

SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, 1993
ABSTRACT Preliminary results of an experimental programme to determine the significance of dual phase flow in propped fractures are presented. Gas-water flows are considered. The results demonstrate that, even in cases of minimal water production, effective permeabilities may typically be reduced by a factor of 2, or more.
