.... Proppant concentration is shown to be the key driver for drainage volumes and cumulative oil production for this group of wells. A higher initial water saturation is associated with larger drainage volume but lower cumulative oil production. Compared with completion design, initial water saturation...

... Abstract The distribution of proppant in fractures is very complex. In order to support the fractures effectively, sand carrying fluid must be injected into the fractures. In this paper, effects of injection rate, proppant concentration, sand carrying fluid viscosity, proppant particle size...
