... with partial 2-acrylamido tert-butylsulfonic acid (ATBS) substitution Testing was performed in multiple water qualities with varying salinities and pH levels. The study revealed that particle bridging of fines by cationic polymers to the proppant pack is more strongly affected by the salinity than anionic...

Shear viscosity, particle size distribution, and viscoelasticity measurements were conducted to assess the performance of FR in both untreated and treated PW using Na 2 CO 3 . The experimental results indicate that Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ are removed...

... emerged in recent years. Compared to Eulerian-Eulerian (E-E) models, the E-L models can efficiently deal with multi-model particle simulations (i.e., different particle sizes and materials) and track particle movement in a Lagrangian fashion. However, most existing E-L models are too computationally...

... Abstract The aim of this study is generation and validation of a proppant log using analysis of drilling mud returns for child wells. Proppant log provides qualitative as well as quantitative insights into spatial distribution of proppant sand particles from prior stimulation of parent wells...

... Abstract One of the main challenges with proppant transport in hydraulic and/or natural fractures within unconventional reservoirs is that the proppant particles do not remain in the suspension transport mode, deviating significantly from the suspension assumption shared by most existing...
