Simulation and Analysis of Proppant Transport Patterns in Wellbore-Fracture Systems

Staged multi-cluster fracturing of horizontal wells is one of the most important tools to achieve efficient development of unconventional oil and gas reservoirs. The multi-stage fracturing technique forms complex fractures with multiple clusters and branches in the formation, causing competing diver...
