Experimental, Theoretical, and Numerical Investigations of Geomechanics/Flow Coupling in Energy Georeservoirs
… Optimizing the conductivity of the proppant assembly is another critical component of designing subsurface hydrocarbon production using hydraulic fracturing. Significant fracture conductivity can be achieved at a much lower cost than conventional material costs, according to the …

Experimental investigation of proppant transport and behavior in horizontal wellbores using low viscosity fluids
… fluid at a high flow rate and then introducing proppant with the fluid to keep the fractures open after the pumping is stopped. One of the most significant concerns in this process is the proppant transport and distribution between multiple perforation clusters. Uneven proppant distribution …

Coupled 3-d numerical simulation of proppant transport and fluid flow in hydraulic fracturing
… of slurry injection, fluid flow, fluid leak-off, proppant transport, proppant settling and interaction between fluid and proppant particles. In this study, the focus is on fluid and proppant motion within hydraulic fractures. The effectiveness of hydraulic fracturing treatment is highly dependent …

Pore-scale Study of Flow and Transport in Energy Georeservoirs
Optimizing proppant pack conductivity and proppant-transport and -deposition patterns in a hydraulic fracture is of critical importance to sustain effective and economical production of petroleum hydrocarbons. In this research, a numerical modeling approach, combining the discrete element method …
