摘要: The uniformity of the proppant distribution among multiple hydraulic fractures is of great importance in the production period after hydraulic fracturing treatments. To facilitate the understanding of the proppant transport along multiple hydraulic fractures, we present a numerical model predicting the proppant transport inside multiple growing hydraulic fractures. The model incorporates an empirical formula for the slurry and proppant transport to a fully coupled in-house hydraulic fracturing simulator, i.e. DeepFrac, based on the dual boundary element method and finite volume method. This model focuses on the propagation and interaction of multiple 2D plane strain fract...
