Flow of suspensions in a hydraulic fracture consisting of Herschel-Bulkley fluid and spherical particles
E. V. Dontsov, S. A. Boronin, A. A. Osiptsov
The purpose of this study is to develop a model for the flow of suspensions consisting of Herschel-Bulkley fluid mixed with spherical particles. In particular, the focus is to inve…
An implicit level set algorithm for hydraulic fracturing with a stress-layer asymptote
A. V. Valov, E. V. Dontsov, A. N. Baykin +1
The capability to simulate a hydraulic fracturing process is an essential tool that can be used to optimize treatment design and increase the efficiency of field operations. In mos…
On the layer crossing problem for a semi-infinite hydraulic fracture
A. V. Valov, E. V. Dontsov
This paper analyses the problem of a semi-infinite fluid-driven fracture propagating through multiple stress layers in a permeable elastic medium. Such a problem represents the tip…
An upscaling based three parameter elastic anisotropy model
E. V. Dontsov
Rock formations often exhibit transversely anisotropic elastic behavior due to their layered structure. Such materials are characterized by five independent elastic constants. In t…
A model for proppant dynamics in a perforated wellbore
Egor Dontsov
This paper presents a model to simulate behavior of particle-laden slurry in a horizontal perforated wellbore with the goal of quantifying fluid and particle distribution between t…
Morphology of multiple constant height hydraulic fractures versus propagation regime
Egor Dontsov
The purpose of this study is to investigate morphology of simultaneously propagating hydraulic fractures. Simultaneous propagation of hydraulic fractures occurs during stimulation…
Analysis of a constant height hydraulic fracture
Egor Dontsov
This study analyzes the problem of a constant height hydraulic fracture. It is assumed that the fracture is driven by Newtonian fluid, and the effects of fracture toughness and lea…
A continuous fracture front tracking algorithm with multi layer tip elements (MuLTipEl) for a plane strain hydraulic fracture
E. V. Dontsov
The problem of a plane strain hydraulic fracture propagating in a layered formation is considered. Fracture toughness, in-situ stress, and leak-off coefficient are assumed to vary…
The coupling of an enhanced pseudo-3D model for hydraulic fracturing with a proppant transport model
Arthur M. Skopintsev, Egor V. Dontsov, Pavel V. Kovtunenko +2
This paper presents the coupled model of a hydraulic fracturing and proppant transport. The former is described in terms of enhanced pseudo-3D model that considers height growth ac…
ResFrac Technical Writeup
Mark McClure, Charles Kang, Soma Medam +9
ResFrac is a combined hydraulic fracturing, reservoir, and hydraulic fracturing simulator. It describes multiphase fluid flow (black oil or compositional), proppant transport, tran…
