文摘
- •
Proppant transport simulation is performed in a 3D hydraulic fracturing simulator.
- •
Iterative coupling has good convergence except at high proppant. concentration.
- •
Tip screen-out can occur even with minimal leakoff.
- •
Proppant immobilization due to bridging assists vertical proppant placement.
