چکیده
■ Compressor for dust collection in silos The automated stimulation delivery platform automates and streamlines surface operations, resulting in a smaller footprint, increased efficiencies, and reduced NPT. A combination of bulk material delivery and storage systems, equipment designed for continuous operations, automated processes, and accurate inventory management enables more-efficient, reliable, and cost-effective fracturing operations with reduced HSE risks.

Numerical 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 کاملA New Technique for Proppant Schedule Design
This study introduces a novel methodology for the design of the proppant pumping schedule for a hydraulic fracture, in which the final proppant distribution along the crack is prescribed. While the design is based on the assumption that the particles have relatively weak impact on the fracture propagation, the validity of this assumption can be tested a posteriori. This makes it possible to rel...
متن کاملEffects of Chitin Purity and Proppant Loading on the Bioremediation of Chloroethenes
Hydraulic fracturing (or fracking) of substrates and proppants into contaminated soils is a developing, but understudied, practice of stimulating in situ bioremediation. In this work, three different purities of the substrate crab shell chitin (SC-20, SC-40, and SC-80), two proppant loadings (sand:chitin mass ratios of 5∶1 and 15∶1), and three chloroethene concentrations (1 and 10 mg∕L trichlor...
متن کاملOccupational Health Surveillance: Pulmonary Function Test in Proppant Exposures
Workers involved in hydraulic fracking processes are exposed to various types of chemicals and dusts in their workplaces, such as proppants, which hold open the fissures created in the fracking process. Recently, ceramic proppants have been developed that may be less hazardous to workers than traditional proppants. Pulmonary function testing of workers producing ceramic proppant was used to ass...
