As the proppant cannot settle further down the proppant bed starts to form and develop at the element that is either at the bottom of the fracture or has an underlying element already filled with particles. Such an "inter-facial" element is divided into proppant flow and immobile bed regions based on the proppant-pack height.

Future prospect of lightweight proppant is discussed. Abstract. In the hydraulic fracturing process, proppant is a crucial substance that holds a fracture open after creating and generating conduits for oil/natural gas movement in the wellbore. With the expansion of unconventional oil and natural gas development, hydraulic fracturing is rapidly ...

Abstract. Two primary criteria describe proppants utilized in fracturing: type (e.g. - sand) and mesh size (e.g. - 30/50), where mesh size refers to the number of wires per inch in the standard U. S. sieve screens. For a proppant to meet API RP-19C (API, 2006) specifications, 90% of the material sample (by weight) must fall between the screens of …

The proppant distribution can significantly affect the conductivity of the hydraulic fracture, and hence will impact the productivity of hydraulic fractured wells. Past studies have investigated fracture closure on proppants by envisioning hydraulic fractures as two parallel plates with uniformly distributed proppants. However, in reality ...

Proppant is often used during the well stimulation operations to keep the fractures open after the fracturing process is complete. If you are not familiar with fracturing, it is a process that involves pumping fluid, chemicals, and proppant at high pressure down the wellbore to create fractures in the formation and allow hydrocarbons to flow more easily towards the …

A proppant is a material that will keep an induced hydraulic fracture open, during or following a fracturing treatment, while the fracking fluid itself varies in composition depending on the type of fracturing used, and can be gel, or slickwater-based.In addition, there may be unconventional fracking fluids. Fluids make tradeoffs in such …

A horizontal visually wellbore model with the same size as the model used in the simulations is set up. The proppant mixing tank and the centrifugal pump are connected through a valve as shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3.The slurry is evenly mixed in the proppant mixing tank and transported into the wellbore by the pump.

Proppant selection in hydraulic fracturing is a critical economic and technical decision that affects stimulation and field development economics. Maximizing well production is the desired outcome in designing the stimulation process. At the same time, minimizing drilling and completion costs also needs to be considered in the completion design

Summary. Proppant embedment plays a significant role in decreasing fracture aperture and conductivity, especially for weakly consolidated sandstones, shale (oil and gas) rock, and coalbeds. Empirical and semiempirical models were usually used to calculate the embedment of proppants. However, the accuracy of matching or predicting the …

As shown in Fig. 3, an immobile proppant bed can form at the bottom of the fracture during the proppant injection stage (Kern et al., 1959; Patankar et al., 2002).The proppant bed formation is more likely to occur when thin fracturing fluids are used, since the low viscosity fracturing fluid carries less particles to the fracture tip and proppants may settle more …

The trend in unconventional wells has been toward drilling efficiencies and more proppant (frequently upward of 10 million pounds to 15 million-plus pounds) with longer laterals driven by a now-documented large increase in IP as a function of proppant mass and fluid volume.

Proppant settling was also found to be influenced by proppant concentration. This settling affects the proppants' distribution in perforation clusters. Uneven proppant distribution was observed at low pumping rates and vice versa. According to the study, the pumping rate plays a crucial role in proppant distribution among the clusters.
