... Abstract Post-treatment production analyses after hydraulic fracturing with crosslinked gel or slickwater often indicate that the treatment did not achieve the designed fractured area, which could be attributed to non-ideal proppant placement in the fracture. Although crosslinked gel provides...

... as the time of propagation of the elastic pressure wave is negligibly smaller than the time of injection. Shrinkage of the coal caused by gas desorption, which takes place due to a reduction in reservoir pressure, is neglected. The proppants fill the cleat network as a partial mono-layer. This means...

Similarly, analysis of formation softening using Brinell hardness testing and proppant embedment testing will help ensure the formation does not completely close on treatment completion and will have conductive flow...

... Abstract Most conventional and unconventional reservoirs use viscous fluid systems for hydraulic fracturing for various reasons, such as good proppant transport, less fluid loss, less pumping friction pressure, etc. Salt is often introduced as part of the fluid system for clay protection...
