文摘

Developed a test apparatus for proppant pack interaction with reservoir rock. Measures reduction in fracture width containing monolayer proppant pack. Measures change in fluid flow, permeability with increase in closure pressure. Maximum 65.5 MPa closure pressure is simulated in laboratory during test. Estimate the limit of closure pressure for selected proppant & fracture rock sample.
