Hydraulic Proppant Fracturing and Gravel Packing Detlef Mader
Publisher: Elsevier Science Ltd

Methods to control production of sand include running screens or slotted liners, packing with gravel or sand consolidation with a plastic resin. CK FRAQ tool assembly with an additional closed-port hydraulic setting tool. Our high-performance cased- and openhole completions for frac-pack sand- control fluid velocities and high proppant volumes and maintain openhole stability. Most of these fractures are vertical and extend out away from Various fluids are used, during the pumping operation, as carriers for the proppant, usually sand. The problem with a gravel pack is that it takes a portion of the energy . Maher, Hydraulic Proppant Fracturing and Gravel Packing, Elsevier, 1989, p. Proppant is the material that is left to fill the hydraulic fracture after it is pumped. ISO, 2006Amendment 13503-2: “Measurement of properties of Proppants used in Hydraulic Fracturing and Gravel-Packing Operations”. Hydraulic fracturing is used in the oil and gas industry to increase the flow of oil . Fracturing is the process of pumping a propping material into a hydraulic pressure created crack in the formation in order to improve well performance.
