Proppant particle transport in a tortuous fracture is a common but poorly understood element
of hydraulic fracturing. An experimental investigation is conducted in a narrow, tortuous slot …

An effective proppant placement in a hydraulic fracture system is the key to increasing the
gas production of unconventional reservoirs. The fracture surfaces are generally rough …

The use of hydraulic fracturing has taken off over the past decade, and the importance of
efficient proppant placement in fractures has increased accordingly. Connection with weak …

Global energy systems are undergoing a crucial transition to clean energy sources, thereby
moving away from fossil-fuel based energy with the ultimate aim of reducing carbon dioxide …

Particle-fluid two-phase flows in rock fractures and fracture networks play a pivotal role in
determining the efficiency and effectiveness of hydraulic fracturing operations, a vital …

Fracturing is one of the key technologies for unconventional oil and gas production.
However, the closure stress will cause the hydraulic fractures to close, and proppant is often …
