Abstract:Depletion of oil and gas reservoirs during production from fractured wells, or fluid injection through frack-packs may cause significant changes in the effective stress that proppants experience inside the fractures. Previous studies have shown that closure stress may change absolute permeability, however, deriving this relationship requires time-consuming and costly experiments that need to be repeated with the change of proppant or field parameters. Here, we propose a methodology to estimate absolute permeab… Show more
