Abstract
A new analytical model for optimizing hydraulic fracture conductivity has been proposed by modifyingthe model developed by a researcher using the formula obtained from classical 2D Perkins-Kern-Nordgren(PKN) model as a function of proppant viscosity and the young modulus (rock compaction). This studyshows that fracture conductivity depends on penetration ratio and fracture conductivity decreases aspenetration ratio increases and this is due to the increase in overburden pressure of the rock and viscosityof the proppant fluid and this lead to reduction in productivity. It was proposed that productivity canbe increased by increasing the fracture pressure and the viscosity of the fluid depending on the type offormation.
