Horizontal well multi-stage plug-n-perf fracturing has proven to be an effective method to develop unconventional reservoirs. Various studies have shown uneven fluid/proppant distributions across all perforation clusters. It is generally accepted that both fracturing fluid and proppant contribute to well performance. Achieving uniform fluid and proppant placement is an important step toward optimal stimulation. This …
