Abstract:Summary
When using hydraulic fracturing technology, microproppants (MPs) are crucial in filling and propping natural and deep-location fracture channels. In the last decades, numerous studies focused on the transportation mechanism of conventional-sized proppants (CPs) with 20/40-mesh, 40/70-mesh, and 70/140-mesh sizes using fracture models with different operational factors such as pump rate, fluid viscosity, proppant size, proppant concentration, inlet number, inlet location, and alternating i… Show more
