The outcomes show that recycling water with high TDS in a high-temperature environment can create a fracture network and proppant transport when high viscosity friction reducers with surfactant (HVFR-PRS) was used. In addition...

..., such as reservoir damage, equipment abrasion, low effective propped area, and early screen-out. Therefore, a novel self-propped fracturing fluid (SPFF) was proposed, which remains in the liquid-phase before entering the fracture, and forms solid proppant particles when stimulated by the reservoir temperature after...

... Abstract This study aims to study the driving mechanism of proppant transport from wellbore to hydraulic fracture networks (HFN) by fracturing fluid, using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). We simulated multiphase slurry flow containing proppant based on the Euler-Euler multiphase flow model...

... Abstract Many stimulated shale gas wells experience surprisingly low fracturing fluid recoveries. Fracture closure, gravity segregation, fracture tortuosity, proppant distribution, and shut-in (soaking) time have been widely postulated to be the contributing factors. This study examines...
