The proppant material used in this test program was 20/40 Carbo HSP and the proppant loading was 2lb/ft 2 representative of the sample field. As in previous work, the closure stress applied on the proppant pack/core system was progressively...

... production, increased effective stress could cause proppant embedment, crushing, and fracture closure. Coupled flow and geomechanical simulation is critical to capture the fracture conductivity changes with stress and perform accurate production forecast. The geomechanical problem with the DPDK can be solved...

... and in mitigating issues related to proppant flow back and fines production. The paper discusses the improvements in treatment designs that helped achieve these favorable results. The Jurassic age Walloons coal measures present in Surat basin were formed as a part of an extensive intra-continental sag basin where...

... Abstract Most oil and gas wells are stimulated. In unconventional reservoirs, proppant fracturing is the preferred stimulation technique. However, in higher permeability conventional carbonate reservoirs, matrix acidizing and acid fracturing can also result in stimulated wells, usually...

... production data first to geological and geophysical parameters (depth, porosity, permeability, brittleness, etc.). We then take the residual information after the first correlation and correlate the residual to completion parameters such as length, proppant amount and fracturing fluid. By separating geology...

... to the current commercially available ceramic products. It has been shown to create high conductivity fracture systems in over 70 wells as a stand-alone proppant. The delivered cost is approximately the same as Ottowa which is approximately half of the cost of the commercial ceramic products. With the higher...

... the alpha and beta wave propagation. The balance between increasing the pumping rate to prevent proppant settling and the increase of friction pressures without fracturing the formation was a key to the success. Beyond this challenge, many others were faced such as high losses prior to the pumping, shale...

The practicality of pumping the PA system was also evaluated by an SIT test from...

... Abstract During hydraulic fracturing in deep shale gas reservoirs, it is difficult to pump proppants long distances, and self-supported fractures are formed at the far and upper ends of the fractures. The self-supported fracture could hold the fracture space by its surface structure again...

... Abstract Baseline conductivity of a proppant pack is to be measured and reported at 50 hours at constant stress according to procedures set out in API RP 19D. However, it has long been recognized that conductivity at stress continues to decline beyond 50 hours - 50 hours being a rather...

.... Then, different sizes of proppants, degradable fibrous materials, temporary plugging agents, and the activators (specially-designed particles) are injected together to form a low-permeable interwoven structure with the help of viscosity-enhanced fracturing fluid. The plugging process involves four stages: (1...
