New Insight on Deformation of Walnut/Ceramic Proppant Pack under Closure Stress in Hydraulic Fracture: Numerical Investigation
This study is an attempt to investigate the mechanical behavior of proppant packs deforming under compression loading. A generalized confined compression test (CCT) was simulated in the present study to investigate the deformation of walnut/ceramic proppants against compression. In this way, the CCT was simulated using ABAQUS explicit code. Unlike ordinary CCT, we obtained permeability of compr...
متن کاملNumerical Investigation of the Time-Dependent and the Proppant Dominated Stress Shadow Effects in a Transverse Multiple Fracture System and Optimization
In this paper, a numerical study is conducted to investigate the stress shadow effects (stress reorientation and change) during hydraulic fracturing in a transverse multiple fracture system. A numerical model is used for the numerical study. It is a 3D model and can simulate the fracture operation from injection begin to full closure (fracture contact). Therefore, there is no need to assume the...
متن کاملAnalytical analysis of fracture conductivity for sparse distribution of proppant packs
Conductivity optimization is important for hydraulic fracturing due to its key roles in determining fractured well productivity. Proppant embedment is an important mechanism that could cause a remarkable reduction in fracture width and, thus, damage the fracture conductivity. In this work a new analytical model, based on contact mechanics and the Carman–Kozeny model, is developed to calculate t...
متن کاملEfficient simulation of hydraulic fractured wells in unconventional reservoirs
Reservoir simulators remain essential tools for improved reservoir management in order to optimize hydraulic fracturing design in unconventional low permeability reservoirs. However, the commonly-used simulator requires too much computational efforts for the description of local phenomena in the vicinity of the hydraulic fractures, and is practically infeasible for field applications, due to la...
متن کاملEffect of Hydraulic Fracture on the Fractured Reservoir Based on the Connection with Natural Fractures
Hydraulic fracturing in the fractured reservoirs plays a significant impact on the production rate. In this study, the hydrostatic condition is taken into account, the hydraulic fracturing operation was applied in every direction usinga written distinct element code. In each direction the hydraulic fracture is applied with different lengths and in each level the amount of production is predicte...
