A Novel Hydraulic Fracturing Method Based on the Coupled CFD-DEM Numerical Simulation Study

A Novel Hydraulic Fracturing Method Based on the Coupled CFD-DEM Numerical Simulation Study

For the development of tight oil reservoirs, hydraulic fracturing employing variable fluid viscosity and proppant density is essential for addressing the problems of uneven placement of proppants in fractures and low propping efficiency. However, the influence mechanisms of fracturing fluid viscosit...
