Abstract Due to the increasing demand and importance of natural gas in global energy mix, its expeditious recovery is crucial, especially from large-scale unconventional geo-resources. Hydraulic stimulation an established means productivity increase tight reservoirs. The fracture conductivity generally depends on proppant properties, particularly shape. Therefore, this research, effect using ro...

The proppant embedment due to creep in shales is a known issue affecting the useable lifetime of wells unconventional oil and gas recovery. One factors influencing presence organics, whose properties can be very sensitive temperature. In this work we investigated for first time role temperature-induced increase an organics-rich Green River shale sample via in-situ synchrotron X-ray micro-comput...

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan pengaruh ukuran terhadap kekuatan tekan, permeabilitas mikrostruktur. Pada penelitian ini, dipilih halus yaitu (200 mesh) kasar (20 diikat oleh polyethylene glyco...

This paper provides a comprehensive review on the application of proppants to maintain fracture permeability over lifetime well based published observations from experiments and modeling. The identifies describes important processes occurring during proppant embedment, hydraulic fracturing, laboratory testing conductivity, embedment modeling embedment. Finally, this challenges knowledge gaps th...

Unconventional reservoirs have strong heterogeneity, with significant differences in the distribution of porosity and permeability. Fracturing is an important technology for increasing natural gas production unconventional oil reservoirs. For high temperature low permeability, rapid increase acid rock reaction rate leads to a decrease effective distance acidic fluids fracture conductivity, espe...

Influence of rough rock surface geometry on flow behavior for single and multiple neutrally buoyant particles in fractures is explored. Degree roughness evaluated by varying synthetic surfaces’ root-mean-square asperity height fractal dimension. Influences Reynolds number multiparticle volumetric concentration are also considered. Simulated within fluid performed utilizing resolved computationa...
