The physics of proppant transport in fractured reservoirs is of great interest to the oil and gas
industry; nevertheless, the outcomes are controversial. This study provides a comprehensive …

The numerical simulation of hydraulic fractures is a critical yet challenging computational
problem due to its multi-physics nature. This paper develops an integrated hydraulic …

Summary Plug-and-perforation (PnP) completion has been widely used in horizontal wells
for the development of unconventional reservoirs. In the field, uneven proppant distribution …

Slickwater fracturing has become one of the most leveraging completion technologies in
unlocking hydrocarbon in unconventional reservoirs. In slickwater treatments, proppant …

In this work, the proppant transport process in large-scale propagating fractures is simulated
using an Eulerian–Lagrangian method. Fracture propagation is solved using the Perkins …

Abstract Computational Fluid Dynamics coupled with Discrete Element Method (CFD-DEM)
was used in this paper to model particle-liquid mixture transport between two parallel plates …

Hydraulic fracturing is a widely used method for well stimulation to enhance hydrocarbon
recovery. Permeability, or fluid conductivity, of the hydraulic fracture is a key parameter to …

Enhanced geothermal system (EGS) is a primary method to develop geothermal resources
stored in hot dry rock (HDR), but it faces several key problems, such as unreasonable …

Hydraulically fractured well productivity greatly depends on fracture conductivity, which itself
is dictated by proppant transport and placement. To guide engineering design and evaluate …
