This paper provides a comprehensive review on the application of proppants to maintain
fracture permeability over the lifetime of a well based on published observations from …

In hydraulic fracture, the choice of proppant is very crucial. It not only props the fractures in
the formation but also maintains the fracture conductivity. Proppant technology is advancing …

Commercial production of coal seam gas is a significant proportion of the total Worldwide
natural gas supply due to its high gas storage capacity at shallow extraction depths. Coal …

Hydraulic fracturing has emerged as one of the best and most economic methods for
enhancing oil recovery from low permeability reservoirs such as shale gas reservoirs …

In order to study the productivity dynamic evolution laws of shale gas horizontal well, a
multiscale seepage theoretical model considering the fluid–solid coupling effect is proposed …

Conductivity optimization is important for hydraulic fracturing due to its key roles in
determining fractured well productivity. Proppant embedment is an important mechanism …

We present the results of an extensive micro-scale experimental investigation of two-phase
flow through miniature, fractured reservoir shale samples that contained different packings of …

In this work, a data-driven surrogate to high-fidelity numerical simulations is developed to
replace the numerical simulations of porous media., This model can accurately predict flow …

The results of a systematic, micro-scale experimental investigation on two-phase gas/brine
flow through proppant-packed fractured shale samples under increasing effective stresses of …

The objective for this work is to develop a data-driven surrogate to high-fidelity numerical
flow simulations using digital images of porous media. The proposed model can capture the …
