A Theoretical Simulation of the Settling of Proppants in a Hydraulic Fracturing Process
Hydraulic fracturing is a process for the extraction of hydrocarbons from underground formations. It involves pumping a specialized fluid into the wellbore under high pressures to form and support fractures in the rock. Fracturing stimulates the well to increase the production of oil and the natural...
