Title: The Factors Affecting Proppant Embedment in Weak Gelling Formation
Abstract: The experiments on proppant embedment were carried out by preparing prepacking unconsolidated sandstone.The important factors causing the fracturing failure,especially in the soft formation were studied.The previous studies were mostly aimed at the effects of embedment on the conductivity in the hard rock plates.Various kinds of factors and regularities are confirmed by conductivity comparison.Through this experiment,the degree of proppant embedment in the soft rock plates and the effects of different closure pressures,proppant size,kinds of rock plates to embedment are observed,other factors of affecting proppant embedment are fully summarized.It plays a positive role in fracturing design optimization.
