Numerical Investigation of the Effect of Partially Propped Fracture Closure on Gas Production in Fractured Shale Reservoirs
Nonuniform proppant distribution is fairly common in hydraulic fractures, and different closure behaviors of the propped and unpropped fractures have been observed in lots of physical experiments. However, the modeling of partially propped fracture closure is rarely performed, and its effect on gas...
