Shafiq, M.U., Alajmei, S., Aljawad, M.S., Wang, L. and Bahri, A. (2025) ‘A Comprehensive Review of Proppant Selection in Unconventional Reservoirs’, ACS Omega, 10(13), pp. 13046–13059. Available at: https://doi.org/10.1021/acsomega.4c09936.
WHAT THE PAPER ESTABLISHES
The evidence contribution
Reviews proppant classes, geometry, density, strength, transport, embedment and fracture-conductivity considerations across unconventional reservoirs.
WHY IT MATTERS TO DISE
DISE ultimately succeeds or fails as a proppant pack, not merely as a polymerisation reaction. This reference anchors the mechanical and hydraulic qualification programme in established proppant-selection criteria.
EVIDENCE BOUNDARY
What this reference does not prove
It is a broad review and does not validate an in-situ polymer particle system. Specific DISE acceptance thresholds must be established experimentally under representative closure stress and temperature.
LABORATORY TRANSLATION
How it shapes the DISE programme
01
Report particle-size distribution, sphericity, density and fines together.
02
Test conductivity or permeability under stepped closure stress.
03
Assess embedment, deformation and long-duration hot creep alongside crush resistance.
Evidence classification: literature precedent. This page explains relevance to DISE; it does not represent experimental validation of the integrated platform.
