Mechanical behavior of hollow proppants based on finite element model
Abstract Proppants are being increasingly used in hydraulic fracturing, which keep the fractures open. Progress has been made in developing hollow proppants that can be transported to the far end of the fractures to improve propped fracture conductivity. Two primary mechanisms by which proppants are...
