  • Publication number: 20170089190
    Abstract: An example method may include determining one or more characteristics of a proppant, a subterranean formation, and a fracture within the subterranean formation. A void fraction associated with the proppant may be calculated using at least one determined proppant characteristic, at least one determined subterranean formation characteristic, and a model with a known arrangement of the proppant. A fracture conductivity associated with the fracture and the proppant may be predicted based, at least in part, on the calculated void fraction and at least one determined fracture characteristic. The proppant may be selected based, at least in part, on the predicted fracture conductivity. The selected proppant may be introduced into the subterranean formation.
