Its benefits include higher fracture conductivity for improved productivity, reduced formation damage, lower friction pressures, and simpler...

... Abstract Fracture conductivity is a measure of the success of completion designs and subsurface fracturing treatments from fractured well performance. Conductivity can be evaluated from experimental investigation. Traditionally, samples for conductivity experiments involve fracturing downhole...
