This inefficiency is primarily due to conductivity limitations which can be attributed to a variety of issues including frac design, loss of proppant permeability due to stress, pinch points in the proppant bed, capillary effects, fluid retention, embedment, etc. Inefficient...

... is dependent on optimized hydraulic fracturing designs, and requires an understanding of the mechanical properties of these reservoirs. One of these properties, Young's modulus, can weaken the formation if it is reduced. This weakening of the formation can, in turn, lead to; increased proppant embedment...

... Abstract Artificially created fracture networks with sufficient fracture conductivities are essential for economic production from shale reservoirs. Fracture conductivity can be significantly reduced in shale formations due to severe proppant embedment. In addition, proppant embedment induces...

... 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...

This reduction in conductivity can, in turn, determine whether or not production of the reservoir will be economically feasible, as shale rocks are characterized by their ultra-low permeability...
