Abstract In the hydraulic fracturing process of shale reservoir, proppant will embed and deform under action high closure stress. Thus, it is necessary to analyze mechanical influencing factors embedding in shale. This study reproduced rough fracture surface real rock slabs based on reverse reconstruction method obtained parameters slab proppant. this study, a numerical model for elastoplastic ...

Horizontal wells’ multi-section and multi-cluster hydraulic fracturing plays an important role in the efficient development of shale gas. However, influence perforating hole natural fracture dip angle on process initiation propagation has been ignored current researches. This paper presents results related to a tri-axial large-scale experiment under different parameters. We discuss experimental...

Abstract Proppant is one of the major elements a hydraulic fracture process that can influence productivity an oil or gas well. The permeability propped may be determined through laboratory measurements, utilizing experimental relationships, using analytical methods. All methods have their advantages and disadvantages, this study attempts to offers solution combines various achieve practical so...

Hydraulic fracturing and matrix stimulation are two major methods of the reservoir stimulation. Hydraulic fracturing, which is the newest technique and technically more complex, is very useful in low permeability reservoirs. Although it has been used widely in hydrocarbon production wells, it is a new method in Iran. In this paper, the effect of sufficient barrier layers on hydraulic fracturing...
