Abstract: Embodiments of proppants are described herein. In one embodiment, a proppant for hydraulic fracturing includes a proppant body. The proppant body has a length (L) and an outside diameter (D), and the proppant body length (L) to the proppant body outside diameter (D) ratio (L/D) is about 0.3 to about 5.0. The proppant body includes a space frame, and the space frame includes a plurality of rigid members creating a plurality of openings allowing fluid to flow through the proppant thereby increasing permeability. In another embodiment, a proppant for hydraulic fracturing includes a substantially cylindrical proppant body with a substantially circular cross-sectional area and an internal flow path with a substantially circular cross-sectional.

Abstract: One embodiment of a wellbore to fracture connectivity apparatus comprises an opening portion representing an opening in a wellbore for receiving fluid, proppant, or any combination thereof to generate at least one fracture in a formation; a fracture portion representing the at least one fracture in the formation; and a coupling portion representing wellbore to fracture connectivity between the opening portion and the fracture portion. The coupling portion couples the opening portion and the fracture portion.

Abstract: Embodiments of determining proppant distribution for a plurality of clusters within a fracture stage of a wellbore are provided herein. The embodiments include performing computational fluid dynamics modeling on at least a portion of a wellbore without any openings and a portion of the wellbore comprising at least one opening along a single azimuth to determine proppant efficiency for the at least one opening along the single azimuth while simulating flow of fluid, proppant, or any combination thereof through the wellbore, an equilibrium proppant concentration profile for the portion of the wellbore without any openings, and an equilibrium velocity profile for the portion of the wellbore without any openings. The embodiment further comprises determining proppant efficiency for at least one other opening of the wellbore at a different azimuth, generating a model that correlates the single azimuth among other items, and using the model to determine the proppant distribution.
