In this work, we built a conceptual reservoir model of a typical, hydraulically fractured well in the northeast Pennsylvania Marcellus shale using a commercial reservoir simulator (CMG-GEM) to validate...

... from hydraulic fracturing. The history-matched compositional reservoir model was used to study cyclic (Huff-n-Puff) CO 2 , lean wet gas, and dry gas ECR to evaluate the potential of improved condensate recovery. Each of the three injected compositions indicated considerable enhanced condensate...

... geometry, four large, dry blocks (28" × 28" × 36") sourced from a Montney formation outcrop were hydraulically fractured in a series of laboratory experiments. These tests investigated the role of texture on hydraulic fracture (HF) propagation with different fluid viscosities, and strike-slip and normal...

...Introduction Because of the low-porosity and low pore connectivity in resource shales, the oil and gas industry resorted to using hydraulic fracturing as a stimulation technique to produce hydrocarbons at economic rates. While this well stimulation technique provides tremendous advantages...

Advanced extensions of finite element method for crack problems such as Extended/Generalized finite element methods were applied to hydraulic fracturing problem ( Gupta and Duarte 2018 , Zielonka et al., 2014 , Liu et al., 2018 , Liu et. al, 2017...

... The issue of RTA in unconventional reservoirs is even more complicated ( Clarkson 2011 , Torcuk et al. 2013 ). Horizontal well technology, primary fractures caused by hydraulic fracturing, and the operations in multi-well pad have changed the flow of fluids in the formation to the well...

In contrast, Fig. 6c and Fig. 6d show the fracture geometry attained by using cutoff coefficients, which...

...The E-L proppant transport model The proppant transport is controlled by the slurry flow within the hydraulic fracture and settling under gravity. To account for the concentration retardation, an effective fracture width calculation is used to correct the proppant horizontal velocity given...
