... degradation due to proppant flowback. Excessive proppant flowback leads to the necessity of frequent wellbore clean-out operations, reduces lifetime of the artificial lift system and down-hole equipment. These conditions call for wider and more permeable fractures in order to obtain desired production rates...

... and proppant pack conductivity, both of which are highly dependent on proppant distribution in the fracture. Stimulation fluids with high viscosity are traditionally employed to open fractures and carry proppant into created fracture area in the formation. Although conventional crosslinked fluids are observed...

... Abstract Fluids used in stimulation are designed to open fractures and transport proppant along the length of the fracture. As a consequence, the rheological behavior of that fluid is very carefully designed. Throughout the past years many systems have been developed to achieve a subtle balance...

... and the favorable tubular friction reducing characteristics of guar-based fluid systems makes them a desirable option for fracturing fluid systems. However, water insoluble residue resulting from guar-based systems may significantly impact the permeability of the proppant pack when flowing back and producing...

... The focus of this paper is to investigate the effect of the embedment of proppants into the formation and the resulting decrease of the fracture width. Therefore, we developed an approach to model the embedment of various kinds of proppant packs with respect to the proppant size distribution...
