Proppant embedment in rough fractures considering shale hydration

Proppant embedment in rough fractures considering shale hydration

Shale reservoirs are significantly hydrated owing to the presence of large amounts of clay minerals. However, the mechanical properties of the hydration layer on the rock surface decline, resulting in severe proppant embedding. In this study, we established a mathematical model of proppant embedding...
