Analytical 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 کاملDiscrete Fracture Modeling of 3D Heterogeneous Enhanced Coalbed Methane Recovery with Prismatic Meshing
In this study, a 3D multicomponent multiphase simulator with a new fracture characterization technique is developed to simulate the enhanced recovery of coalbed methane. In this new model, the diffusion source from the matrix is calculated using the traditional dual-continuum approach, while in the Darcy flow scale, the Discrete Fracture Model (DFM) is introduced to explicitly represent the flo...
متن کاملAnomalous transport on regular fracture networks: Impact of conductivity heterogeneity and mixing at fracture intersections.
We investigate transport on regular fracture networks that are characterized by heterogeneity in hydraulic conductivity. We discuss the impact of conductivity heterogeneity and mixing within fracture intersections on particle spreading. We show the emergence of non-Fickian transport due to the interplay between the network conductivity heterogeneity and the degree of mixing at nodes. Specifical...
متن کاملEstimation of Fracture path in the Structures and the Influences of Non-singular term on crack propagation
In the present research, a fully Automatic crack propagation as one of the most complicated issues in fracture mechanics is studied whether there is an inclusion or no inclusion in the structures. In this study The Extended Finite Element Method (XFEM) is utilized because of several drawbacks in standard finite element method in crack propagation modeling. Estimated Crack paths are obtained by ...
متن کاملNew 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...
