... model flow in hydraulic fracture and enhance the runtime compared to the previous method. A reference solution with small fracture aperture (0.001 ft) and logarithmic grid was built to get the true numerical solution and then a few template models with 2 ft fracture width were created and matched...

.... The simplified fracture aperture is simulated in 2D. The applied boundary conditions simulate the injection of different concentrations of acid under various flow rates. The competing rates of advection, diffusion, and reaction control the evolution of the fracture. The results show that different dissolution...

The fracture aperture from borehole images have been corrected after comparison with direct measurements on cores and based on high definition core photos. Overall, the petrophysical and geomechanical properties as well as fracture analysis, show...

... Available literature suggests that the efficiency rate to predict lost circulation remains within 78% ( Illidge et al., 2017 ), or can be lower. The efficiency to cure lost circulation zone (LCZ) highly depends on the nature of the lost circulation, properties of the formation and the aperture...

...) into the natural fractures and secondary hydraulic fractures to prevent them from closing and thereby increasing the stimulated reservoir volume. The size of the micro-sized proppant should be designed to be between one-seventh and one-third the aperture size of the natural fractures. In addition, various...

The model derived from the analysis describes two-phase flow of oil and water in a single discretized fracture taking into account fracture aperture, wall roughness, orientation and, flow rates and direction. It also accommodates fluids and fracture characteristics to match laboratory SCAL experimental...

... Abstract Proppant embedment plays a significant role in decreasing fracture aperture and conductivity, especially for weakly consolidated sandstones, shale (oil and gas) rock, and coal beds. Empirical and semi-empirical models were usually used to calculate the embedment of proppants. However...

... and fracture aperture (fracture aperture calibration curve) was obtained by X-ray CT scanning for a fracture aperture calibration standard with varying the aperture from 0.1 to 0.5 mm. As a result, a linear relationship was obtained between CT value and fracture aperture. With the fracture aperture calibration...

Conventional acoustic logging tools tend to smooth or average the actual slowness variation over the receiver-array aperture (typically 3.5 ft for an 8-receiver array). The acoustic thin-bed analysis obtains the formation slowness by stacking overlapping sub-arrays of acoustic...
