... wells; all available literature exists in vertical wells as well as on formations of the Caney that are shallow in comparison to an emerging play which is twice the depth. In this paper we investigate stress-dependent fracture conductivity of proppant-filled fractures and proppant embedment in Caney...

... Abstract We present theoretical models and laboratory experiments for guided wave propagation within fluid-filled, open and partially open, and proppant-filled fractures. The laboratory experiments are conducted using an analogue fracture (a "trilayer" model) consisting of a pair of slender...
