Abstract
Furthermore, we also investigated the amount of gravity driven vertical motion of proppant which is driven by density differences (convection) and compare it to a second gravity driven motion which is proppant settlement. Both of these two well recognized mechanisms can occur inside a fracture during proppant placement, however, the importance of each mechanism as a function of proppant injection design parameters is not fully understood.
