ABSTRACT:
A method for modeling a fractured formation to determine a non-uniform fracture conductivity which will yield fracture performance comparable to that obtained from a fracture having uniform conductivity. Additionally, proppant concentrations and proppant schedules may be established to facilitate performing a fracturing operation to distribute sand in the fracture such that the fracture exhibits a non-uniform conductivity. The modeling technique includes the determining of an optimal fracture conductivity at a plurality of locations along the length of the fracture.
