Experimental and Numerical Study on Proppant Transport in a Complex Fracture System

Experimental and Numerical Study on Proppant Transport in a Complex Fracture System

Slickwater fracturing can create complex fracture networks in shale. A uniform proppant distribution in the network is preferred. However, proppant transport mechanism in the fracture network is still uncertain, which restricts the optimization of sand addition schemes. In this study, slot flow expe...
