- W2491176483 abstract "It has been assumed that along with fluid viscosity and pump rate, gravity dominates final proppant placement in hydraulic fractures. Results here, based on detailed multiphase-flow modeling, show that other factors such as slurry rheology (effect of adding proppant on slurry viscosity), fluid loss and layered fluid loss, and vertical fracture-width variations often are more important than gravity in controlling placement. Abstract The goal of a hydraulic-fracture treatment is to create a large flow area exposed to the formation and connected to the wellbore along a conductive path. The only goal of hydraulic-fracture models is to predict this final proppant placement accurately. Most theoretical, modeling, and experimental efforts in this area have focused historically on understanding and predicting only gravity effects on proppant placement. However, for proppant-laden, viscous fluid or slurry flowing along a fracture, other forces are always more important than gravity, and can easily cause proppant to move upwards, both during pumping and fracture closure. A differential-fracture closure occurs when a fracture growing vertically penetrates zones with higher or lower closure stress. After shut-in, higher stress zones close first. This forces any proppant-laden slurry covering these zones (at shut-in) to migrate to low stress zones where fracture width is greater, and can easily lead to upward proppant movement as fracture-closure stress generally decreases with depth. After shut-in of a propped fracture treatment all fluid must leak off into permeable formations penetrated by the fracture. Until closure, viscous fluid continues to transport proppant (possibly upward) toward fluid-loss layers, often corresponding to pay. As proppant is introduced to fluid, the resulting slurry has a higher density and tries to move downward. However, solids also act to increase viscosity, and more viscous slurry prefers the wide middle of a fracture. This serves to keep proppant near the middle of the fracture, often in the pay zone. This paper discusses the combined effect of these forces on proppant placement in a context of post-frac analysis of several field treatments. Analysis used a fracture model including rigorous, numerical, 2D material transport, and the often-unexpected results are compared with supporting evidence from post-frac well performance. In many instances, the combined effect of proppant-placement forces is beneficial, with more proppant placed across the pay than suggested by simple models. In other cases, post-shut-in proppant redistribution can (and did) cause catastrophic job failure." @default.
