However, in Unconventionals more and more operators are looking t o 100-mesh proppants &ndash\; and even smaller size proppants &ndash\; to prop open narrow fissures and natural fractures in order to maintain their flow potential when a well is produced.Within this presentation, we will explore the potential benefits of 100-mesh-size proppant &ndash\; as well as the potential drawbacks &ndash\; in stimulation operations for Unconven tionals. Consider that 100-mesh is often:\r\n\r\nA low cost (potentially t he lowest cost) option for proppant that is believed to provide the necess ary conductivity\;\r\nA size that is most likely to navigate the variable aperture along the hydraulic fracture\;\r\nA size that is most likely to b e able to enter and prop open a natural fracture\; and\r\nA size/density t hat is reasonably favorable for proppant transport.\r\n\r\nIn simplest ter ms, 100-mesh (and smaller) is the likely proppant candidate to be transpor ted out into the hydraulic fracture and prop open natural fractures. The k ey being to prop open the natural fractures and retain their production co ntribution during pressure depletion.Can it be that simple? And if so, why isn&rsquo\;t everyone using 100-mesh and why did the emphasis on 100-mesh not happen sooner? During the presentation, we will also consider the pot ential downside of smaller proppant sizes as well as consider operator exp eriences in pushing towards the use of more 100-mesh and smaller proppants .--- This iCal file does *NOT* confirm registration.Event details subject to change. ---\r\n\r\n--- By Tendenci - The Open Source AMS for Associatio ns ---\r\n UID:uid3684@spegcs.org SUMMARY:Permian: The Use of 100-Mesh Sand (and Smaller!) in Unconventionals DTSTART:20171017T163000Z DTEND:20171017T180000Z CLASS:PUBLIC PRIORITY:5 DTSTAMP:20240328T152227Z TRANSP:OPAQUE SEQUENCE:0 LOCATION:Norris Conference Center – Westchase X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:
