Modeling Frac-Packs and Fracture Propagation in Poorly Consolidated Sands Ruben Juanes and Mukul M. Sharma The University of Texas at Austin 1. Problem Statement and Objectives Frac-pack operations have been used extensively for sand control and production stimulation in medium-to-high permeability, unconsolidated or poorly consolidated rocks. The goal of this operation is to bypass formation damage around the wellbore, and to mitigate sand production problems. While current models for frac-pack design employ linear elastic fracture mechani
