Abstract
The ultimate goal of this paper is to develop a method to to determine the pelletized gel pressure gradient, PPG, in fractures resulted from FHF applied at later stages of oil fields development. Using the laboratory fracture model the values of constants (apparent constant of consistency and apparent index of pseudoductility) for viscoplastic fluid equation were obtained. These constants were also used in the derived equation for pressure gradient along the induced fracture. The gel pressure gradient was calculated by the equation of gel movement along the fracture. This equation enables to calculate the pressure gradient for each size of pelletized gel granules depending on the fracture width and the gel injection rate.
