Proppant Arrival Timeline
When does each cluster's proppant actually arrive? Combines pump schedule, wellbore volume, and slip velocity (§8.11–8.12).
Pump schedule
Stage 1 • 1200 bbl • 0 lb prop
Stage 2 • 640 bbl • 13440 lb prop
Stage 3 • 850 bbl • 35700 lb prop
Stage 4 • 1020 bbl • 64260 lb prop
Stage 5 • 1020 bbl • 85680 lb prop
Stage 6 • 1530 bbl • 160650 lb prop
Stage 7 • 900 bbl • 0 lb prop
Clusters
Wellbore transport
Bias exponent: 1.0 = equal flow per perf area, <1 favours heel (limited entry), >1 favours toe.

Per-cluster arrival Gantt
Each row is a cluster. The dark band shows when proppant is actually being placed at that cluster. Shorter bands toward the toe = less proppant reaches that cluster before flush.
Per-cluster summary
| Cluster | MD heel→ (ft) | Flow % | Slurry @ (min) | Proppant @ (min) | Proppant placed (lb) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| C1 (heel) | 50 | 25 | 0.5 | 15.5 | 89933 |
| C2 | 110 | 25 | 0.5 | 15.5 | 89933 |
| C3 | 175 | 25 | 0.5 | 15.5 | 89933 |
| C4 (toe) | 240 | 25 | 0.5 | 15.5 | 89933 |
Slip lag = MD-from-heel ÷ (fluid velocity − slip velocity). Toe clusters lag heel by 0.0 min.
