The laboratory testing was designed...

...-based software. The comma separated (.csv) files include treating pressure (TP), slurry rate (SR), and bottomhole proppant concentration (BHPC) with defined start and end time flags. Using feature engineering, the model calculates the rate of change of treating pressure (dtp_1st) slurry rate (dsr_1st...

Evaluates economic criteria such as net present value (NPV) and return on investment (ROI) for different fracture lengths by comparing fracture...

... motion are studied: settling of heavy proppant particles; and convective proppant transport, which refers to the motion driven by large-scale density differences between regions of different proppant concentration. Computer simulations are performed using realistic parameter values. In particular, we...

... ABSTRACT Foam fracturing with a base fluid of delayed crosslinked gel has expanded the use of foams in fracture stimulation and greatly improved job success rates. Foamed delayed crosslinked gels allow the placement of much higher proppant concentrations in the fracture than foamed linear gels...
