A hybrid discrete-continuum numerical scheme is developed to study the behavior of a hydraulic fracture crossing natural fractures. The fully coupled utilizes discrete element model for an inner domain, within which propagates and interacts with domain embedded in outer continuum that implemented extend length better approximate boundary effects. identified propagate initially viscosity-dominated regime, calibrated by using theoretical plane strain solution. simulation results orthogonal...
Abstract The goal of this study is to analyse the steady flow a Newtonian fluid mixed with spherical particles in channel for purpose modelling proppant transport gravitational settling hydraulic fractures. developments are based on continuum constitutive model slurry, which approximated by an empirical formula. It shown that problem under consideration features two-dimensional and boundary layer, effectively introduces slip at allows us describe transition from Poiseuille Darcy’s law high...
This paper develops a closed-form approximate solution for penny-shaped hydraulic fracture whose behaviour is determined by an interplay of three competing physical processes that are associated with fluid viscosity, toughness and leak-off. The primary assumption permits one to construct the mainly three-process multiscale tip asymptotics global volume balance. First, developed approximation compared existing solutions all limiting regimes propagation. Then, map, which indicates...
This study revisits the problem of a steadily propagating semi-infinite hydraulic fracture in which processes toughness-related energy release, viscous dissipation and leak-off compete on multiple length scales. typically requires solution system integro-differential equations with singular kernel, is complicated by need to capture extremely disparate In this governing are rewritten form one non-singular integral equation. reformulation enables use standard numerical techniques complete...
Depletion-induced stress change causes the redistribution of field in reservoirs, which can lead to reorientation principal stresses. Stress has a direct impact on fracture propagation infill wells. To understand effect well's fractures, an integrated simulation workflow that combines reservoir flow calculation and well hydraulic fracturing modeling is adopted. The computed examine relationship between extent reversal region properties. Then, model considering altered for production built...
The focus of this study is to analyze a parametric space for the problem constant height hydraulic fracture driven by power-law fluid. interplay physical mechanisms related toughness, fluid resistance, and leak-off considered, but model restricted local elasticity simplicity. semi-infinite first analyzed: limiting solutions are obtained analytically their locations inside dimensionless obtained. Then, finite investigated. Similarly, vertex outlined then in quantified. Results demonstrate...
<title>Abstract</title> Plug and perf hydraulic fracturing is performed with high-pressure injection of fluid proppant from perforation clusters along a wellbore. During this process, uniform placement important for maximizing economic performance. In prior work, we developed wellbore-proppant transport simulator, which accounts wide range phenomena, including suspension, settling, erosion, pressure drop, inertial effects, orientation, random variance, among others. the present calibrate...
The focus of this study is to analyse the tip region a hydraulic fracture, for which fluid flow inside crack transitions from laminar turbulent regime away tip. To tackle problem, phenomenological formula in pipes has been adapted describe fracture through concept diameter. selected model able capture laminar, and transition regimes flow. near-tip analysed by focusing on steady propagation semi-infinite with leak-off, aforementioned utilized. First, distance within solution applies...
Abstract During plug and perf completion, perforation pressure drop is used to encourage a uniform distribution of flow between clusters by overcoming stress shadowing, variability, nonuniform breakdown pressure. However, proppant inertia, gravitational settling, erosion contribute nonuniformity, even with an aggressive limited-entry design. In prior work, Dontsov (2023) developed correlation for predicting outflow from the wellbore as function slurry velocity, phasing, other parameters....
This study investigates the problem of a semi-infinite hydraulic fracture that propagates steadily in permeable formation. The fracturing fluid rheology is assumed to follow power-law behaviour, while leak-off modelled by Carter’s model. A non-singular formulation employed effectively analyse and construct numerical solution. under consideration features three limiting analytic solutions are associated with dominance either toughness, or viscosity. Transitions between all cases analysed...
