The fracture was explicitly modeled as a set of high-conductivity cells.At the gas velocities normally encountered in hydraulic fracture proppant packs, non-Darcy pressure drops dominate, and the apparent proppant permeability is one or two orders of magnitude lower than the Darcy permeability measured at single phase low-rate conditions. This is particularly true if a liquid phase is also flowing. The apparent permeability of the proppant is a function of: Gas velocity (hence: rate and flowing pressure)Ratio of free liquid rate to gas rateStress on the proppantType of proppantThus, apparent proppant permeability will vary with distance from the wellbore, increasing towards the tip of the fracture where liquid ratio and velocity are lower.This variation of permeability was explicitly modeled in the proppant pack by dividing it into segments and calculating the permeability in each segment. As a result of this modeling, the impact of increased fracture length on productivity was found to be more significant than in simpler modeling where one permeability value is used for the entire proppant pack.The variation of apparent proppant permeability along the length of the fracture and its impact on well productivity are discussed in this paper. A comparison of predicted well productivity is also made with the use of a constant permeability value for the proppant in numerical and analytic simulators. We will show that using a constant proppant permeability value results in an estimate of optimal fracture length that is too short.
