Numerical considerations for the simulation of proppant transport through fractures
Rivas, Endrina; Gracie, Robert (Elsevier, 2019-09)Injection of a proppant slurry (fluid mixed with granular material) into a reservoir to keep fractures open is a common procedure in hydraulic fracturing treatments. This article presents the numerical methodology for ... -
Numerical Modeling of Nonlinear Problems in Hydraulic Fracturing: Fracture Propagation, Proppant Transport, and Shear Dilation
Rivas, Endrina (University of Waterloo, 2020-05-05)Hydraulic fracturing is a stimulation technique in which fluid is injected at high pressure into low-permeability reservoirs to create a fracture network for enhanced production of oil and gas. It is the primary purpose ...
