Abstract

Hydraulic fracturing technology, as an important stimulation technique for low permeability reservoirs, is widely used in oilfields. The effect of fracturing is closely related to the proppant carrying and the proppant-placement. While in field application, polymer gel is usually used to carry the proppant, which probably results in the difficulty of injection, the formation damage and other problems. As far as the proppant-placement is concerned, the mainstream view is the sand bank shape. The circulation channel of oil and gas is mainly composed of pores between the proppant particles, with seepage being the main flow pattern.
