DOI: 10.1016/j.petrol.2019.03.046
Abstract: Abstract Proppant distribution is an important topic, because it is closely related to the success or failure of hydraulic fracturing treatment. Although, many proppant transport models have been published, there is still relatively limited research… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c01696
Abstract: In multistage, multicluster treatments, distributing the proppant evenly among the multiple perforation clusters is considered one of the key challenges. Uneven proppant distribution in multiple clusters can significantly affect fracture conductivity, which in turn severely… read more here.
