The poor proppant-carrying capacity of SC-CO 2 fracturing (SCF) negates its potential
advantages for the exploitation of deep unconventional gas reservoirs over traditional water …

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 …

Some of the most promising potential applications of nanotechnology to hydraulic fracturing
of coal seam gas (CSG) are reviewed with a focus on Australian CSG wells. Three propitious …

Calcareous sand is a typical problematic marine sediment because of its angular and
porous particles. The effects of internal pores on the mechanical properties of calcareous …

Due to the high-content of clay and kerogen, shale will always show viscoelastic mechanical
behaviors during the development of shale gas, which will lead to the increase of proppant …

Hydraulic fracturing is regarded as an effective tool to stimulate the reservoir and ensure
economic production of gas. The process of exploitation of these resources is largely …

Tight hydrocarbon reservoirs require stimulation to improve the recovery of oil and gas
resources. Hydraulic fracturing is a technique extensively employed in the oil and gas …

The stimulation of shale reservoirs by hydraulic fracturing is required to recover trapped
hydrocarbons. For effective stimulation, it is essential to study the mechanism of hydraulic …

The inability to achieve satisfactory production targets from unconventional oil/gas deposits
is a foremost concern for many hydraulic fracturing projects. One potential reason for …

Persisting oil/gas recovery controversies throughout the fracture stimulation stage due to
early production reductions have raised questions about realistic proppant performance in …
