This paper presents a numerical investigation of hydraulic fracturing in oil sands during cold water injection by considering the aspects of both geomechanics and reservoir fluid flow. According to previous studies, the low shear strengths of unconsolidated or weakly consolidated sandstone...

A central issue in hydraulic fracturing treatment in petroleum wells is the transport of proppant particles by the injection fluid. In this paper, we present an innovative proppant transport model in a fixed rectangular- and elliptic-shaped slots. The proposed model is an improvement to the...
