Characterization of complex hydraulic fractures in Eagle Ford shale oil development through embedded discrete fracture modeling

open access: yesPetroleum Exploration and Development, 2021
This study extends an integrated field characterization in Eagle Ford by optimizing the numerical reservoir simulation of highly representative complex fractured systems through embedded discrete fracture modeling (EDFM). The bottom-hole flowing pressure

An optimization model for conductivity of hydraulic fracture networks in the Longmaxi shale, Sichuan basin, Southwest China

open access: yesEnergy Geoscience, 2020
Shale gas is an important unconventional resource. The economic recovery of shale gas is only possible when a fracture network with sufficient conductivity is created by hydraulic fracturing, that, if effectively propped, connects fracturing fractures ...

The effect of combined proppants upon the fracture conductivity in tight gas reservoirs

open access: yesEnergy Reports, 2020
Sand and ceramic proppant are the most commonly used materials to keep fractures open during hydraulic fracturing. Ceramic proppant has higher hardness and sphericity than sand, but it is much more expensive.

Variation of induced stress field during hydraulic fracture closure and its influence on subsequent fracture

open access: yesEnergy Reports, 2021
After the completion of multi-stage fracturing operation, the fluid pressure in artificial fracture network continues to decrease, resulting in the closure of fracture and the variation of local induced stress field.

Coupled Hydraulic Fracture and Proppant Transport Simulation

open access: yesEnergies, 2020
This paper focuses on the study of proppant transport mechanisms in fractures during frac-packing operation. A multi-module, numerical proppant, reservoir and geomechanics simulator has been developed, which improves the current numerical modeling ...
