Conductivity
Conductivity Testing:
Past research has shown as little as 5% fines can
reduce flow capacity by at least 50% via a change in
median particle diameter (MPD). This only serves to
compound other damage mechanisms (e.g. polymer
residue, embedment, non-Darcy flow, multi-phase
flow, etc.) do 50% permeability damage. When you
combine this with the amount of damage the
fracturing fluid can do, PropTester®, Inc.
can provide test data on your proppant with your
well parameters or can perform the standard
conductivity analysis according to ISO TC/67 13503-5
specifications. Also standard regain conductivity or
a PS-50 test can provide data at a specific stress
and temperature. You specify your test to suit your
data needs and maximize your production up to
20,000-psi stress and 500°F. Cyclic stress, baseline
studies, beta factor determination, regain
conductivity and our automatic hydraulic surface
grinder can shape downhole core or any quarried
sandstone or limestone to simulate your formation
for the conductivity tests.
