TEST PROPPANT PACK PERMEABILITY RELATED TO CONDUCTIVITY

Problems:

Are related to proppant at the post-fracture of hydraulic fracturing in Oligocene E reservoir,

for example: Proppant damage factor, proppant scaling, proppant settling, proppant

transport, proppant flow back to the surface, proppant embedment, less proppant fractureconcentration at the post fracture (less lb/ft2 is compare to API standard test proppant

fracture conductivity 2lb/ft2), etc.

Proppant pack permeability is calculated by equation below:

Using Darcy law:

 =

 ∆ 

Where,

1. 

q is the flow rate

2. 

Lf  is the length of propant pack in direction of flow, and

3. 

A p is the cross-sectional area of proppant pack open to flow.

a. 

To find the proppant pack permeability, fracturing fluid viscosity, length of proppant pack (5inch), ∆ p is differential pressure between inlet pressure and out

let pressure are known at pre-test.

 b. 

A p is the cross-sectional area was calculated by×.5

4= 1.77 2 

c.  Applied closure pressure on proppant pack is range from 500 psi to 1,000 psi.

d. 

Proppant pack test for ISP proppant: 20/40 and 40/60 mesh size.

e. 

Fluid 2 % KCl with 0.5 pptg (pound per thousand gallons) Guar gum or HPG.

Simulation.

In order to find the real proppant fracture conductivity based on the closure pressure (psi),

 proppant fracture concentration (lb/ft2), proppant pack permeability (md), the Mfrac

software is used for simulation proppant fracture conductivity (md-ft).
