Fluid rheology plays a critical role in proppant transport, perforation erosion, and near-wellbore distribution. This session will examine field and lab insights into how rheology influences proppant placement, cluster efficiency, and fracture initiation. Presenters are encouraged to share case studies, modeling advancements, and techniques for optimizing fluid properties to improve stimulation outcomes.

Optimizing proppant distribution and conductivity in the near wellbore region is key to effective stimulation. This session will explore field-calibrated insights on proppant types, proppant transport, erosion considerations, and proppant additives that enhance the level of stimulation or provide diagnostic information. Presenters are encouraged to share proppant-focused case studies, novel methods, and technologies that improve well performance.
