... millimeter-sized glass beads to replicate proppant-filled fractures after hydraulic fracturing. As anticipated, N-PPG exhibited a greater resistance factor ( F r ) and residual resistance factor ( F rr ), and its plugging efficiency reached more than 99.3%. N-PPG was hardly broken even after extruding from...

...D. Zeinabady; C. R. Clarkson; S. Razzaghi; S. Haqparast; A. L. Benson; M. Azad Summary The existence of faults, pre-existing hydraulic fractures, and depleted areas can negatively impact the development of unconventional reservoirs using multifractured horizontal wells (MFHWs). For example...

...D. Zeinabady; C. R. Clarkson Summary The post-fracture pressure decay (PFPD) technique is a low-cost method allowing for stage-by-stage hydraulic fracture characterization. The analysis of the PFPD data is complex, with data affected by both hydraulic fracture and reservoir properties. Available...

...Zhipeng Wang; Zhengfu Ning; Wenting Guo; Qidi Cheng Summary It is well known that waterflooding will create fractures. The created fractures are divided into hydraulic fractures (artificial fractures with proppant) and induced fractures (formed during waterflooding without proppant...

...Yilin Liu; Guozhong Gao Summary The complex fracture network from hydraulic fracturing can significantly improve oilwell productivity, so it is widely used in the field of unconventional reservoir development. However, accurate evaluation of the fracture spatial distribution remains a challenge...
