Numerical Investigation of Multistage Fractured Horizontal Wells considering Multiphase Flow and Geomechanical Effects by Jun Li, Yuetian Liu, Kecong Ma

“…Hydraulic fracturing is a key technology in unconventional reservoir production, yet many simulators only consider the single-phase flow of shale gas, ignoring the two-phase flow process caused by the retained fracturing fluid in the early stage of production. In this study, a three-dimensional fluid–gas–solid coupling reservoir model is proposed, and the governing equations which involve the early injection water phenomenon and stress-sensitive characteristics of shale gas reservoirs are established. …”

Enhancing sand screen performance with integrated slurry testing and CFD-DEM modelling by Noorhaslin Che Su, Sofyah Anis Izwani Jusof, Aimi Zahraa Zainal, Yeong Yuan Jian, Chan Kai Xian, Afiq Mohd Laziz, Muhmmad Fadhli Muhammad, Javed Akhbar Khan, Abdul Hazim Abdullah, Mohd Azuwan Maoinser

“…The particle size distribution (PSD) of sand samples was crucial for selecting the appropriate screen size, with results showing that highly uniform and well-sorted sand exhibited higher sand retention and lower sand production due to reduced fines content and maximized void spaces, enhancing fluid flow while mitigating sand production. A coupled Computational Fluid Dynamics-Discrete Element Method (CFD-DEM) simulation platform was employed to model particle-fluid interactions, using an optimal mesh size of 0.005 m. …”
